The mass movements are, together with the flooding, one of the disasters with the highest degree of recurrence in the world and, therefore, are causing damages to companies, particularly in densely populated cities in hilly areas. However, often there is still no consensus among the concepts used by the various bodies of research and civil defense. Thus, it is necessary to organize information regarding adverse events, through his analysis, identification and classification. Different measures of mitigate and assistance should be taken post-disaster, such measures need to be coherently established.

to the main types of mass movements and their characteristics.
