Mountain regions are high-risk areas; hazards can cause damage, destruction, injury and death at any time. Cases in point are the Kashmir earthquake in Pakistan in 2005 that killed about 80,000 people, and the 1985 Armero mudflow in Colombia, triggered by a volcanic eruption, which claimed about 21,000 lives.
