In the El Niño storms of early 1998, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) documented approximately $150 million in losses from 300 landslides that occurred in the California area. The 2006 landslide in the Philippines caused about 200 deaths, and about 1,000 people disappeared in the debris. [Source: Encyclopedia of Crisis Management; Avalanches and Landslides]
