Factsheet
Brief outline of the situation facing communities in Solola where the PfR programme is implemented in Guatemala.
Communities identified the following hazards: landslides, mudslides, hurricanes, soil erosion, floods and forest fires. These hazards result in the loss of crops, destruction of water piping systems, and blockage of paths which led to communities in the region being cut off for approximately 10 to 15 days resulting in shortage of food for the whole population.
