New!: Report by the University of San Carlos of Guatemala-USAC and the Geological Society of Guatemala from information generated by SERVIR. In follow up to the support that CATHALAC provides in the context of SERVIR during extreme events, we provide here a preliminary analysis of the landslide that occurred in the Cerro Xicut area of Guatemala. This relies upon various images to compare the situation before and after the landslide, as well as the interactive SERVIR-Viz tool for the 3D perspectives. The EO-1 satellite was tasked with the support of NASA Goddard Spaceflight Center.  download: low resolution (412 kb) / high resolution(12 MB) Calculations approximate 108 hectares of affected area. The volume of the displaced material according to CONRED was 10 million metric tons. At least 38 people died due to this landslide; however, search and rescue has been suspended out of precaution for further landslides. |
