CNN cited Jaime Gomez, director of the risk management agency of Antioquia (Dagran), as saying, "This situation once again fills us with sadness. Last Monday, we emphasized that these events will continue to occur, and we cannot avoid them because they are natural phenomena, but we can avoid loss of life."

Gomez explained that "we're in the rainy season, so people who live or have activities on the banks of rivers mustn't be near these tributaries."

"Risk management is an issue of co-responsibility of all Colombians, and it depends on all of us to do what we can to protect life," he indicated.

Reuters noted that landslides are common in Colombia due to frequent rains and poor infrastructure.

It is noteworthy that in early February, 15 people died and 35 others were injured in a mudslide in the city of Pereira.
