Activities in Nicaragua in support of the U.S. Hurricane Mitch reconstruction program: a final report submitted to the U.S. Agency for International Development

On October 25, 1998, Hurricane Mitch, the fourth most intense Atlantic Ocean hurricane on record, slammed into the Central American coastline. This report compiled by the USGS compiles a wide variety of data and information in Nicaragua including detailed maps, aerial photographs of key areas, damage inventories, and continued assessment of potential flood, landslide, and other hazards that needs to be made available not only to plan the reconstruction efforts, but also to mitigate the human and economic impacts of future natural disasters.
