This paper describes some aspects on geo-disasters caused by rainstorms in terms of relationship between meteorology and geotechnical engineering. Landslides bring constantly about 80 causalities on average in Japan, while earthquakes and volcano disasters bring less in usual years, if the catastrophic earthquake as in Kobe in 1995 is excluded. Examples of soil-water-index and the snake curve to predict geo-disasters such as landslides, slope failure and debris flow are demonstrated. Meteorological information systems are briefly reviewed including rainfall observation systems, the multi-parameter radar and numerical models for short- and long-term rainfall forecasting. The importance of interdisciplinary approach is suggested among meteorology, geotechnical engineering and other fields such as hydrology, groundwater and hydraulics.
