Lahars Hazard Map

There are communities located on the slopes of the volcano that have a certain degree of vulnerability associated with geological phenomena.

Lahars are flows of water-saturated sediments that move down the slopes of a volcano. These flows are large in volume and pose risks to human settlements located near the volcano.

All the information was treated with Arcgis and a plugin called laharz, this plugin allows to simulate flows from the following data: digital elevation model, drainage pattern, slope map and data associated with the flow such as volume and saturation.
