Abstract
Due to its geographical location, Mexico is influenced by considerable natural hazards such as earthquakes, hurricanes, and landslides, among others. The states of Guerrero and Michoacán have been scenarios of large landslides like the ones of Cerro El Socorro at La Huahua, Michoacán, in October 2008; seven landslides in Mineral de Angangueo, Michoacán, in February 2010; and the landslides of La Pintada, Guerrero, in 2013—all of these linked to meteorological phenomena—causing damage to infrastructure as well as deaths, and in particular the wiping out of the population of La Pintada in Guerrero. This presentation outlines the evaluation of landslides through geophysical, seismic refraction, and geotechnical techniques. An evaluation of the economic and social vulnerability of the inhabitants of the three affected communities will also be presented.
