. This included pulling together information from satellite images of the valley hit by the landslide, identifying areas that could also be vulnerable to flash flooding, and finding out more about how the government was registering affected people. Pinning down these essential details, Jo explains, means

Peru (iv) less snow accumulation in Andean glaciers and (v) drought in NE Brazil. With respect to Bolivia, El Niño is associated with rainfall deficit in the Altiplano, Andean mountain ranges, inter-Andean valleys and the Chaco region and excess of rainfall in the north-eastern plains (Ibisch

Flash floods occur suddenly in river beds that are normally dry. They can appear within hours of heavy rainfall. Sometimes they occur in dry weather after it has rained further up the valley. flood Floods Floods are often caused by rivers bursting their banks after heavy rain, when the sluice gates

in just 2 months. The winter storms brought the most significant flooding of the calendar year in January and February, with the Somerset Levels and Thames valley worst affected. In general it was the persistence of the storms rather than the intensity of any individual event which led
