Landslides
"The causes of landslides are not a mystery to mankind. Layers of rock and soil such that rain running along a clay or rock layer can create a slippery surface for the weight of the layers above it is a common cause. A rock jumble from previous mountain building, broken or fractured rock easily dislodged. We have stated that the earthquakes man experiences between the periodic passages of Planet X can be considered aftershocks from the last passage, and this is true of landslides also. Mountain building rumples the landscape, so the land is not flat but has steep ravines and hill sides. Older mountain ranges are recognized for their rounded or smoothed appearance, because of frequent landslides distributing the rubble.
"As we approach another passage, another Pole Shift, the pace of landslides has picked up. Why would this be? Plates under pressure will put pressure on regions that contain rumpled hillsides and deep ravines, as these give more readily than strictly flat land, thus act as a weak link. In addition, due to the wobble, the weather has gotten more extreme, with drought and deluge increasing in extremes. Dry ground, suddenly flooded with rainwater needing to seek its level as runoff, will create internal water slides between the rock and soil layers that constitute the rumpled hillsides. Is there an early warning system that mankind could use? The trembles that soil about to slide emits could be detected, yes. These are not earthquakes, and have their own frequency. "

The operator of a backhoe was buried after, at 12:42 p.m. m. of this Thursday, a landslide occurred in the Trigal Group property, in San Miguel de Santo Domingo de Heredia.The preliminary report of the Fire Department detailed that it is estimated that they moved about 50,000 cubic meters (m³) of material, which dragged the backhoe along with the worker, who has not been identified.
At the time of the accident, a ground movement was made in the upper part of the terrain, reported Bernardo Barboza, in charge of search operations by the fire department.
The stones, the earth and the trees that were moved also buried several containers that were in the part below and some five were dragged several meters.
Héctor Chaves, director of the Fire Department, said that 10 people specialized in rescue were transferred to the site, as well as the Canine Unit.
"The problem is that the terrain is very unstable," Chaves said. The dogs Joe and Zeus made a first crawl of the area where it is presumed that the worker could be buried, of 60 years, but the results were negative.
At the time when the material fell, another two workers accompanied the tractor driver, but these people, noticing the movement of land, ran. The witnesses said that the backhoe operator jumped from the equipment, but was lost in the dirt.
The team collapsed about 30 meters from the site where the man was working.

Costa Rica: Huge landslide in Pérez Zeledón.
Jun 12, 2018
Paso towards Pérez Zeledón by La Cangreja will remain closed until Wednesday due to landslide.
The aerial images better illustrate the dimension of the collapse that interrupted the passage towards Pérez Zeledón along the South Interamerican highway.The passage towards Pérez Zeledón by La Cangreja will remain closed at least until this Wednesday due to a huge landslide, transporters and neighbors suffer the consequences of the closure.
Since the night of Monday the detachment blocked the circulation of vehicles in the place known as La Cangreja, in El Guarco de Cartago.
The fall of material continued during the early morning and Tuesday morning, as recorded by our colleagues Guillermo Bonilla and Manuel Obregón.
Trailers from Limón to the South Zone and vice versa, buses and drivers in general were trapped almost 24 hours.
The residents of La Cangreja also suffer the consequences, some could not go to work and the lessons were suspended in the rural high school La Luchita.
While the area remains unstable and requires the closure of the road, the traffic police recommends using the area of Los Santos and the coastal highway, as alternate routes to travel south.
The Conavi estimates that some 15 thousand cubic meters of material fell, which would amount to some 15 thousand trucks full of rubble.

Kenya: Murang’ Earth movement disaster leaves 300 families in despair.
Jun 10, 2018
Over 300 families have been displaced by landslides and fault lines that have formed across Murang’a county.
Some have been integrated with other families while others are being accommodated in schools.
According to Red Cross, over 300 more families have been affected by rains after their property was destroyed.
Areas most affected are Kangema, Mathioya, Kahuro and Kigumo subcounties where huge chunks of farms were swept away.
Kangema was most affected as large cracks formed across farms and destroyed houses.
An assessment by Red Cross has indicated some houses sunk while others were completely destroyed as the earth moved.
Mount Kenya Red Cross regional manager Gitonga Mugambi has said this has left many families stranded and dependent on well-wishers.
Mugambi said many houses have also been declared unfit for habitation in Gitugi village, Mathioya subcounty, and residents are now being hosted by their neighbours.
“Many of them have been left without a source of livelihood as tea and coffee bushes were swept away,” he said on Thursday.
Some families, Mugambi said, will be forced to find alternative land to build homes.
He urged the national and county governments to help families relocate and obtain land.
Mugambi said other than providing food, the organisation is also providing counselling.
“Some people who were doing very well in life have now been reduced to depending on relief and that has taken a toll on most of them,” he said.
Mugambi expressed concern some families have refused to relocate even though their houses have huge cracks and are falling apart.
He said those refusing to move are putting their lives at risk.
Five people died in separate incidents of landslides in Kahuro and Gitugi areas and scores of others were rescued after being trapped in the mud.
John Kihia, a Kangema resident, narrated how he found his house “hanging” one morning after part of his house came apart.
“My kitchen sunk and my main house developed major cracks, forcing me to move my family to my neighbour’s home,” he said.
Kihia said he now relies on help from his neighbours and other well-wishers.
