Fig. 8

Two evacuation routes from Fig. 1 superimposed on a preliminary PDC hazard map produced by INSIVUMEH together with external collaborators after the 3rd June 2018 disaster (INSIVUMEH, 2018). Red route is for several communities including Panimaché Uno to evacuate to Santa Lucía Cotzumalguapa; evacuation timescales are for Panimaché Uno. Purple route is for several communities including San Andrés Osuna to evacuate to Siquinalá; evacuation timescales are for Osuna. PDC hazard map shows areas of high (red) and moderate (yellow) PDC hazard. Stated evacuation timescales are for evacuation during dry season; evacuation during rainy season would likely be prolonged or curtailed due to the greater possibility of lahars descending and reaching the evacuation route where it crosses a barranca
