Mass movements, or landslides, are one of the most common and frequent processes affecting the Earth’s surface. This type of process produces important economic losses when affecting vulnerable elements. Therefore, it is necessary to develop methods and/or tools that make possible risk assessment and prediction mapping for these processes. During recent decades significant progresses have been made in this field, developing and applying different methodologies to model landslide susceptibility and, to a lesser extend, landslide hazard. However, procedures for landslide risk modelling are scarce. In this work the economic losses caused by two landslides occurred in the Bajo Deba area (Guipúzcoa) due to intense precipitations have been analysed. The study of these slope movements and their effects has been compared with landslide susceptibility, hazard and risk models produced in previous works.
