I have used the amazing <a href=\"http:\/\/ndcc.gov.ph\/home\/index.php?option=com_frontpage&amp;Itemid=1\">NDCC<\/a> daily reports to compile a map of the landslides that killed people.  I can only locate the slides to within a couple of kilometres, but for this exercise that is good enough.  So here is a Google Earth map of the fatal landslides:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.agu.org\/landslideblog\/files\/2010\/10\/09_10-Parma-3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px;text-align: center;cursor: pointer;width: 400px;height: 271px\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.agu.org\/landslideblog\/files\/2010\/10\/09_10-Parma-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a>Each dot is a single fatal landslide &#8211; click on the image for a better view in a new window.
