Each country is different: natural hazard mitigation occupies varying ranks in national priorities, and it is often difficult to complete work that has an impact on a country and builds its infrastructure. The requirements of such work may leave scientists feeling unprepared, and little comprehensive literature is available regarding these challenges. This volume meets a vital need: it focuses on a single country but provides information that will be useful for other countries as well. El Salvador is a small, third-world country with significant seismic, landslide, and volcanic hazards. Recent events in El Salvador include civil war, floods, drought, and major hurricanes, earthquakes, and landslides, and the country has forged a new plan to help it face these severe natural hazards. This plan includes the development of a new geological agency, which is seeking outside assistance.
