    Extractions: State and Local Information Here's Something To Think About... Make a list of contact information for area animal control agencies, including the Humane Society and emergency veterinary hospitals and treatment facilities. Landslides, also known as mudslides or debris flow, occur in all U.S. states and territories, and can be caused by a variety of factors including earthquakes, storms and fires. Landslides can occur quickly, often with little notice, and the best way to prepare is to stay informed about changes in and around your home that could signal that a landslide is likely to occur. Prepare for landslides by following proper land-use procedures - avoid building near steep slopes or along natural erosion valleys. Become familiar with the land around you. Learn whether debris flows have occurred in your area by contacting local officials. Slopes where debris flows have occurred in the past are likely to experience them in the future. Look for changes in landscape and water drainage, or new cracks in foundations and sidewalks.

66. Landslide Information From The Colorado Division Of Emergency Management
    Your site description goes here landslides occur when masses of rock, earth, or debris move down a slope.  
    http://dola.colorado.gov/dem/public_information/landslide.htm
    
    Extractions: Landslides Landslides occur when masses of rock, earth, or debris move down a slope. They may be small or very large, and can move at slow to high speeds. They are activated by such things as storms and fires, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, rock and soil weakened through saturation by snowmelt or heavy rains and excess weight from accumulation of rain or snow, stockpiling of rock or ore, or waste piles. Man-made structures may stress weak slopes to failure creating a landslide. Landslides occur in every state. The Appalachian Mountains, the Rocky Mountains, and the Pacific Coastal Ranges and some parts of Alaska and Hawaii have severe landslide problems. Any area composed of very weak or fractured materials resting on a steep slope can, and probably will, experience landslides. Click on the link here for the USGS webpage. They have a lot of information on the the DeBeque Canyon landslide in Colorado.

    Extractions: An aerial view shows Saturday, Feb. 18, 2006, the extent of the landslide that buried the whole village of Guinsaugon, St. Bernard town in Southern Leyte province in central Philippines. Rescuers pulled out five more bodies Saturday bringing the death toll to 20 and injuries to 30 others. Officials estimate those who perished in the landslide to be 1,800. [AP] The search was focusing on an elementary school amid unconfirmed reports that relatives of some of the 250 children and teachers had received cell phone text messages from survivors. On Saturday, 11 other villages in the area were evacuated out of fear of further landslides. Guinsaugon, on the southern part of Leyte island, has been swamped with 27 inches of rain over the last two weeks. The U.S. military dispatched two warships and 1,000 Marines to the area.
