1. Key Highlights Flooding, Landslides, Avalanches and Strong Winds Continued to Be the Natural Disaster Events Affecting Most People Natural Disasters Report I Semester 2009 Colombia January ­ June 2009 1. Key highlights Flooding, landslides, avalanches and strong winds continued to be the natural disaster events affecting most people. During the first rainy season, lasting from March through May, 51 persons died, 128,729 persons (26,568 families) were affected, 1,119 houses were destroyed and 22,795 houses damaged. Lack of access in many parts of the country as landslides and flooding blocked roads, leaving many towns isolated. Flooding in southwestern Colombia led to devastating impacts on persons, houses, crops and infrastructure. Galeras volcano has been active and the alert levels have varied from yellow, orange to red. The most serious events occurred on 7 and 8 June, when 8,500 persons were ordered to evacuate due to explosive eruptions. Number of affected persons ‐ I Semester 2009. Total figures 1 January ‐ 30 June 2009 Source: SIGPAD 1 2. General situation Flooding, landslides, avalanches and strong winds continued to be natural events affecting large parts of Colombia during the first semester. Reports indicate that 199 persons died or went missing, 311,189 persons (63,951 families) were affected, 2,813 houses were destroyed and 41,359 houses were damaged. According to the Dirección de Gestión del Riesgo para la Prevención y Atención de Desastres (DGR) 1, roads, education and community centers were also hit by natural hazards. As the figure below shows, 72% of the affected population was hit by flooding, while strong winds, landslides and avalanches account for 28% of the events impacting the population.

The first rainy season takes place in Colombia over a three month period, starting on 1 March. This year’s rainy season affected rural as well as urban areas. DGR reported 51 casualties, 4 missing, and 128,729 persons affected (26,568 families), as well as 1,119 houses destroyed and 22,795 damaged. Chocó, Antioquia, Valle del Cauca, Cundinamarca and Cauca were the departments hardest hit with 55% (70,976 persons) of the total affected population. In total, 246 municipalities in 27 departments were affected by the emergencies. Colombian Red Cross also reported that the centre of the coffee‐growing zone, including Risaralda and Quindío Departments, were heavily hit2. Tumaco Municipality, February 2009 The city of Bogotá, April 2009 Source: http://www.ipitimes.com Source: http://www.radiosantafe.com Flooding of the Mira River in Nariño Department in south‐western Colombia was caused by heavy rainfall in the beginning of the year. This led the river to reach 20 meters above its normal level, affecting people, houses, agricultural crop, infrastructure and buildings. The Galeras volcano in Nariño Department has been active this year and the alert level varied between level yellow, orange and red. The most serious incidents occurred on 7 and 8 June when explosive eruptions led the Government to order the evacuation 1 Directorate for risk management, and prevention and attention to disaster. 2 Ibid. 2 of 8,500 persons (INGEOMINAS)3. Emergency shelters were opened as people were encouraged to evacuate their homes. The volcano is located close to populated areas and important agricultural areas. No persons were reported dead or missing. At the time this report was finalized, the alert level has been adjusted to yellow. Since the volcano is considered a potential threat, monitoring and emergency preparedness has been increased by the Sistema Nacional para la Prevención y Atención de Desastres (SNPAD)4.

Large parts of the road in the Trapiche sector were washed away when the river flowed over its banks. Boyacá Department The first rainy season destroyed the road connecting the Municipality of Soacha (Norte de Boyacá) with Meta Department. Casanare Department On 21 May, six rural towns in the Municipality of Pore in the north of the department were flooded due to heavy rains. Reports indicated that there were 2,080 persons (419 families) affected and 419 houses damaged. Roads in nearby municipalities were also affected. CREDPAD6 declared an orange alert level for the entire department. Norte de Santander Department Several roads in the department were affected by landslides. Traffic was occasionally interrupted for longer time periods, leading to blocked roads and isolated communities. Due to heavy rains, the road connecting the Municipality of Ocaña with Cúcuta, in the sector of La San Juana, was affected by 14 landslides. Nearly 6,000 families were affected by landslides in the area known as “Alto de los Compadres”, along the road connecting Cúcuta with the Municipality of Santiago. On 3 April, a total of 220 persons (59 families), including 96 children, were affected by a landslide in the Tucunaré sector in the neighborhood of Juan Atalaya in Cúcuta. On 5 June, 250 persons (50 families) in the town of Tropezón in La Esperanza Municipality were affected by strong winds as 4 houses were destroyed and 46 houses were damaged. Strong winds also affected the municipalities of El Tarra and Tibú, blocking the road connecting them. According to the Regional Director of CREPAD, the affected persons were given temporary shelter while their houses were being repaired. Santander Department Strong rains lead to flooding in the sectors of Álvarez, Morrorrico, Llanogrande, Galán and Zarabanda. Flooding also affected Bucaramanga, where strong winds led to blocked roads and left 30% of the city without energy. Several roads were affected by heavy rains, amongst others the roads connecting Bucaramanga to the airport and the transport terminal. Magdalena Medio region Due to heavy rainfall during the second rainy season of 2008, the region experienced several landslides and flooding in the beginning of 2009, destroying 600 houses, 13 water systems and 3 bridges. According to the CREPAD (Santander Department), the situation in the rural zones of San Vincente Chucurí reached a critical level. Heavy rains caused flooding along the creeks Cantarranas and Las Crueces, displacing 30 families. Other affected municipalities included Barrancabermeja, San Benito, Ocamonte, Molagavita, Sabana de Torres and Galán. In Puerto Wilches Municipality (Santander Department), more than 1,000 hectares of crops: banana, yucca, citrus fruits and palm oil were destroyed by flooding. Coordination and humanitarian response Arauca Department As a response to the destruction of the road linking the municipalities of Arauca with Saravena caused by the overflow of the Arauca River, the municipial administration of Arauquita started the construction of an alternative route on 20 June: Araquita‐La Unión‐La Chigüira‐Brasilia‐San Rafael‐San Lorenzo‐Saravena. This route is 23 km long and will take an hour longer than the original route to drive. Bolivar Department Through CORMAGDALENA7, a package of protection measures with a total value of COP$9,300 million were approved for the municipalities located along the Magdalena River in Bolivar Department. The majority of the projects were reconstruction projects of dykes and destroyed infrastructure, together with financing for the completion of water protection walls in 12 riverside municipalities, as well as protection measures to secure land from flooding and erosion. Bolivar, Cesar and Santander Departments 6 Comité Regional de Prevención y Atención de Desastres (CREPAD). 7 Corporación Autónoma Regional del Río Grande de la Magdalena (Cormagdalena). 4 More than 14,000 families affected by the second rainy season of 2008 received humanitarian assistance from Dirección de Impuestos y Aduanas Nacionales (DIAN)8. The donations contained items of basic necessity: clothes, shoes, sheets etc. The donation had a total value of COP$900 million. Norte de Santander The majority of the families, who were re‐located in provisional shelters due to the landslides in Tucurnaré in Cúcuta on 3 April, could move into houses rented by the municipal administration on 4 April. A number of families did not get this opportunity and continued to live in neighbourhoods running a great risk of being affected by new landslides. The national government offered plans for pre‐fabricated houses to the Mayor´s Office in Cúcuta, funding for houses (subsidies for the repair of houses) and to help with renting of houses to affected families.

  • Chronology of the Diplomatic Crisis on March 1 Colombia Launched a Cross-Border Raid Against a FARC Campsite 2K Into Ecuadorian Soil
    March 1 – 10, 2008 Chronology of the diplomatic crisis On March 1 Colombia launched a cross-border raid against a FARC campsite 2K into Ecuadorian soil. ‘Raúl Reyes’ syndicated as ‘number two’ of the rebel organisation was killed. Ecuador, Venezuela and Nicaragua broke ties with Colombia, unleashing an unprecedented diplomatic crisis which now seems to be on a normalisation path, following last Friday’s Rio Summit in Dominican Republic. Here’s a summary of highlights and events: DISCLAIMER The summary herewith presented was drafted based entirely on public statements, media and press sources This document DOES NOT reflect an official position of neither this Office nor the UN System in Colombia Please abstain from citing this document in part or as a whole March 1 – 3 * Cross-border raid On March 1, past midnight, Colombian Super Tucano aircraft launched smart bombs on a mobile FARC campsite located 1.8Km into Ecuadorian soil, near the border. FARC’s senior commander ‘Raúl Reyes’ and 16 more rebel fighters were killed in the operation. Colombian forces recovered their corpses in a cross-border raid supported by Black Hawk helicopters –at 04:00h LT. Four hours later, President Uribe contacted Ecuador’s President Rafaél Correa and informed him that the ‘number-two’ FARC commander had been killed in combat by Colombian forces. He made it clear that his aircraft had to fire from the Colombian side into Ecuador to repel fire from the ground (one Colombian soldier was killed in action). To safeguard the bombarded guerrilla camp, Colombian assault forces crossed the border, recovered two dead bodies –‘Raúl Reyes’ and a mid-ranking rebel-, arms and ammunition, and collected evidence material.

Our simulation scheme considers three critical factors with different spatial and time scales: the geo- magnetic effects, the development of extensive air showers in the atmosphere, and the detector response at ground level. The muon energy dissipation along the path crossing the geological structure is mod- eled considering the losses due to ionization, and also contributions from radiative Bremßtrahlung, nuclear interactions, and pair production.

Rojas/ Umari Journal The basin is home to an estimated 30 million people, and includes territory in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guyana, Peru and Venezuela. The largest territories in the Amazonas are in The region currently Brazil, Peru and Colombia which host more than 400 indigenous communities amounting to registers the highest an estimated 6 million people. The main channel of the river, which is a vital route for transport mortality rates from in the region, played a key role in the transmission of the disease affecting, in particular, the indigenous population along the border region of Peru, Colombia and Brazil. COVID-19 per 100,000 people in the world. As a result, the United Nations Resident Coordinators in the three countries have come together with the support of OCHA and the participation of WFP, WHO, UNICEF, UNFPA to develop an Action Plan to support Government responses to the urgent needs in the area. The plan is initially focused on mobilizing an emergency response to address the most immediate needs of those affected in the area. First level responses in the three countries have already commenced through reprogramed funding but additional resources are needed to scale up the response. The plan focuses on areas near the so-called Triple Border - between Colombia, Peru and Brazil - home to 208,699 people and where the majority of the population (57%) is indigenous.

  • Review and Reassessment of Hazards Owing to Volcano–Glacier Interactions in Colombia
    128 Annals of Glaciology 45 2007 Review and reassessment of hazards owing to volcano–glacier interactions in Colombia Christian HUGGEL,1 Jorge Luis CEBALLOS,2 Bernardo PULGARI´N,3 Jair RAMI´REZ,3 Jean-Claude THOURET4 1Glaciology and Geomorphodynamics Group, Department of Geography, University of Zurich, 8057 Zurich, Switzerland E-mail: [email protected] 2Instituto de Meteorologı´a, Hidrologı´a y Estudios Ambientales, Bogota´, Colombia 3Instituto Colombiano de Geologı´a y Minerı´a, Bogota´, Colombia 4Laboratoire Magmas et Volcans UMR 6524 CNRS, Universite´ Blaise-Pascal, Clermont-Ferrand, France ABSTRACT. The Cordillera Central in Colombia hosts four important glacier-clad volcanoes, namely Nevado del Ruiz, Nevado de Santa Isabel, Nevado del Tolima and Nevado del Huila. Public and scientific attention has been focused on volcano–glacier hazards in Colombia and worldwide by the 1985 Nevado del Ruiz/Armero catastrophe, the world’s largest volcano–glacier disaster. Important volcanological and glaciological studies were undertaken after 1985. However, recent decades have brought strong changes in ice mass extent, volume and structure as a result of atmospheric warming. Population has grown and with it the sizes of numerous communities located around the volcanoes. This study reviews and reassesses the current conditions of and changes in the glaciers, the interaction processes between ice and volcanic activity and the resulting hazards. Results show a considerable hazard potential from Nevados del Ruiz, Tolima and Huila. Explosive activity within environments of snow and ice as well as non-eruption-related mass movements induced by unstable slopes, or steep and fractured glaciers, can produce avalanches that are likely to be transformed into highly mobile debris flows.

    medición, presentan una tendencia ascendente y son del orden de 10 Y 16 microradianes, valores que son bajos y pueden estar influenciados por factores como la sensibilidad de los equipos y las condiciones atmosféricas que siempre están acompañadas de vientos fuertes. En 1999, se instaló en el flanco N del volcán Puracé, un inclinómetro electrónico 'Guañiarita", a una distancia horizontal de 1.5 km del cráter a:tivo. La estación GUQ/liarita ha tenido 2 periodos de funcionamiento, el primero entre febrero de 1999 y enero de 2000, y el segundo entre junio de 2000 y enero de 2002. En el primer periodo se observó un comportamiento muy estable en las componentes radial y tangencial con diferencias de 8 microradianes, cambios que se relacionaron con el proceso de estabilización del equipo. En el segundo periodo se registró un comportamiento variable, algunos incrementos en los niveles de defonnación coincidieron con variaciones en temperatura, sin embargo a partir de febrero de 2001, la tendencia de la componente tangencial fue ascendente y la radial, descendente, acumulando deformaciones del orden de 16 microradianes (Figura 7). Las variaciones de deformación reportadas por las estaciones de defonnación en el volcán Puracé, permiten establecer niveles de deformación inferiores a 20 microradianes, que al ser comparados con las deformaciones presentadas por volcanes activos como el Nevado del Ruiz y Galeras se consideran como bajas. 3136 23.96 H5.94 Componente Radi.1 - e 7.92 ----------------..... .0.03 ii """""'_,_'''''' ~-'-'' ''~., i .611 Componente hngef'l(:i81 - . .16,13 rl'('~'" r -- t<'''A ~ 1 'i\ I ,r-¡'J",_''''''''''''A'''.'''>''- '-'' " ~ .241~ ~, ~.,--.
