A massive rock slide-debris avalanche occurred on February 17, 2006 in the Philippine province of Southern Leyte that caused widespread damage and loss of life. The deadly landslide (debris flow) followed a ten-day period of heavy rains and a minor earthquake (magnitude 2.6 on the Richter scale). The official death toll was 1,126.〔("Philippine Landslide and Flood Operations Update #7" ), red, Red Cross, Appeal #MDRPH00107, update August 7, 31, 2007〕 ==Overview== At around 10:30 on February 17, 2006, a cliff face of a ridge straddling the Philippine Fault collapsed in a combination rockslide-debris mass movement event, translocating and subsequently burying Guinsaugon village in the town of Saint Bernard.〔( "Disaster Relief: Too Late, Earth Scans Reveal the Power of a Killer Landslide" ), Science Magazine, March 31, 2006〕 Up to ten smaller landslides had occurred within the previous week in the vicinity of St. Bernard, but Guinsaugon was the worst-hit community. Among the worst of the tragedies was the burial of the local elementary school, located nearest to the mountain ridge, as the landslide occurred when school was in session and full of children. Provincial Governor Rosette Lerias said at the time the school had 246 students and seven teachers; only a child and an adult were rescued immediately after the disaster transpired. About 80 women who participated in the celebration of the fifth anniversary of the Guinsaugon Women's Health Association were also lost in the landslide.〔("80 Abanse! Pinay members still missing in Guinsaugon" ), ''Philippine Daily Inquirer'', February 22, 2006〕 Lerias said that although several residents had left the area the week before due to the fear of landslides, several of them had returned when the rains had eased.
