around the landslide site appears to have suffered from landslides in the past, and the geological maps of the region mark much of this area as being slope deposits.<\/p>\n<p>News reports indicate that the local communities had been concerned that a failure was developing on the hillside prior to the landslide.\u00a0 <a

highlights that a failure had developed over several months, and that Medellin Council was warned of the risks on 29 June 2022, which led to a visit by the Undersecretary for Physical Infrastructure, Adri\u00e1n Alexis Correa.\u00a0 It appears that there are video records community leaders warning that a major landslide was possible.<\/p>\n<p>But for now, there are concerns about further instability and of the implications of the damming of the channel, Quebrada Do\u00f1a Mar\u00eda.\u00a0 This will require attention in the coming days.<\/p>\n<p>There has been heavy rainfall in
