The slide in Lambi occurred on Thursday on the remote west coast.
Office director Loti Yates said it came as a severe low hit the region, causing heavy downpours and extensive flooding.
Bridges, roads and villages had been washed away.
"There are communities that have lost homes and properties and the NDMO has been working with the Red Cross and other NGOs to access non-food items, such as shelter kits, garden, kitchen and hygiene kits to be delivered," Mr Yates said.
Meanwhile, the Solomon Islands Meteorological Service has cancelled a heavy rain warning for the country.
The warning, previously in place for all provinces and conveyed thruogh the National Emergency Operations Centre, was this morning lifted.
