| Resumen: |
Landslides, as a result of heavy rainfalls and earthquakes, represent a significant risk to residents in El Salvador. This type of hazard has been known for a long time and was clearly demonstrated during the hurricane Mitch in October 1998, and during the 17th January and 17th February Earthquakes in 2001. The hazard evaluation will be based on the detailed precipitation information gathered from 2 rainfall stations with data transmitted to an already established data centre. This report contains a technical description of installations that was carried out in October 2002 (Au) - en |
