Assessment Reports Conferences/Seminars Directory Education Resources ... Survey Sections Geology and Natural Disasters by Dave Liverman and Martin Batterson (Newfoundland Department of Natural Resources, Geological Survey, 1994) On the night of August 1st, 1973, the small south coast town of Harbour Breton lay sleeping under heavy rain. The last few weeks had seen a lot of rain, much more than usual, and the steep slopes surrounding the town were saturated. At 3 a.m. residents heard a "short thunderous rumble and then a prolonged roar", the power supply was interrupted, and four houses were swept into the harbour by a landslide - a torrent of mud, rocks, trees and water. The Evening Telegram (August 3rd, 1973) reported that "the four bungalows hit were smashed like eggshells on the rocks below. Twenty people lived in those houses, and most escaped but four children from the Hickey family were killed, suffocated under the mud that filled the houses." This was a tragic natural disaster resulting from a geological hazard. A geological hazard is defined as a natural geological process that has the potential to adversely affect our everyday lives. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, rockfalls and avalanches are all natural disasters resulting from geological hazards. Sometimes, as at Harbour Breton, people are killed. More usually these natural disasters cause inconvenience and considerable expense, such as in the blocking of Riverside Drive in Corner Brook by a landslide this spring.

Villagers spent much of the afternoon searching for survivors as emergency crews from La Paz were dispatched to the mountainous area. Although initial damage reports soared, with some claiming that more than 400 homes were buried, local officials claimed Tuesday afternoon that dozens of homes had been affected. Indonesia Mudslides Kill 32 At least 32 people have been killed by mudslides on the eastern Indonesian island of Flores since heavy rains first swept into the region on Monday (March 31). Emergency officials stated that Ndona was the hardest hit town, where 29 residents died. Mudslides are common in Indonesia during the rainy season, which typically runs from October through April. Columbian Mudslides Claim Fifteen Lives Mudslides caused by heavy rains killed at least 15 people in Colombia's mountainous coffee-growing region and destroyed dozens of homes on Thursday (Mar. 20)

Mail Posted December 8, 1997 My 8 year old loves science (and NOVA) but hates to read. During the broadcast of 'Avalanche' he asked what he should do if he is caught in an avalanche while cross-country skiing. I said he had a good question and that maybe it would be addressed on the NOVA web pages. Hurrah! He read it because he was motivated by the subject. We'll get him hooked on reading, yet. Thank you for having this great mixed media program available. A.H. Tacoma, WA 'Avalanche' is absolutely excellent! And your accompanying web site is outstanding. Thanks for putting all the time, money, and work into this project. Cindy Meyer Woodland Park, CO einstein@market1.com Great web site! Unfortunately I do not get public television in my home. Avalanches and avalanche safety is huge issue in this internationally known ski resort town. I edit two sections of our local weekly paper, the Jackson Hole News, and will run a brief in this week's paper about this fine site very informative and nicely laid out. I wonder if it would be possible to borrow a video taped copy of the program? I sure would appreciate it. You can respond to me here or write to me at The Jackson Hole News, P.O. Box 7445, Jackson, Wyo., 83002. Thanks a lot. I look forward to hearing from you. Richard Abendroth Jackson, WY
