landslide - property dispute

California
I own an empty lot on the bottom half of a hillside. The lot above and slightly to the left of my lot has a home on it and has landslide issue (their backyard soil is disappearing). Their soil has slid down onto the empty lots below their home and onto my lot as well. And now that landslide debris has pushed onto the road in front of my lot (and my neighbor's) causing it to appear it is our soil that is running onto the street. The city is now citing us for "public nuisance". I feel it is not my fault. I heard about "Duty of Subjacent Support". Does my situation fall under that category?
Please advise.
Thank you!

**A: I would say don't say a word. Several years from now when the home slides down onto your property, CA real property laws would allow you to claim this home as your own.

Title: Slip slidin' away


Words & music by Paul Simon

Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin' away

I know a man
He came from my home town
He wore his passion for his woman
Like a thorny crown
He said Delores
I live in fear
My love for you's so overpowering
I'm afraid that I will disappear

Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin' away

I know a woman
Became a wife
These are the very words she uses
To describe her life
She said a good day
Ain't got no rain
She said a bad day's when I lie in bed
And think of things that might have been

Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin' away

Krispen, you're walking on the bridge over troubled waters.

After watching 10.5 last night I started rooting for the Quake

If the Quake wins, they'd finally stop asking us for our Lake Michigan water.
