NASA Landslide Watch Issued in Southern Patagonian Andes
NASA's LHASA model issued a landslide watch for Chile's Southern Patagonian Andes region for a 12-hour window on March 25–26, 2026.
On March 25, 2026, NASA's Global Model of Models LHASA issued a landslide watch for the Continental Southern Patagonian Andes region in Última Esperanza, Magallanes y Antártica Chilena, Chile. The watch covered a 12-hour period, from 14:15 UTC on March 25 through 02:57 UTC on March 26, flagging heightened landslide risk due to rainfall and terrain conditions. Authorities and local communities in the region were alerted to monitor slopes and potential run‑off, especially in areas prone to heavy precipitation and unstable geology. The watch is part of NASA's early‑warning capabilities for geohazards and does not indicate a confirmed landslide, but rather elevated risk that may trigger emergency preparedness measures.
