 ESCUINTLA DEBRIS AVALANCHE
The greater part of the avalanche deposit was previously mapped as Tertiary volaniclastics of the Escuintla love, and several isolated parts were mapped as Tertiary volcanics (Hunter et al., 1984).
The morphology, characteristics, and stratigraphic relations of the unit indicate that it is a late Pleistocene debris avalanche, herein called the Escuintla debris avalanche.
Third, the Escuintla debris avalanche fan is positioned east of the center of the complex of depositional fans south of Escuintla; thus the debris avalanche would have had a straighter path between its source and its position on the coastal plain if Fuego, Meseta, or Acatenango rather than Agua were the source volcano.

In 1996, along with a large outbreak of classic dengue (a flu-like, self-limiting viral disease), 18 cases of dengue hemorrhagic fever or DHF (a serious, often fatal disease) were reported in the department of Escuintla, Guatemala, located along the southern coast of the country.
In addition, although there was substantial improvement in the case-reporting system, the total number of cases of classic dengue recorded between weeks 28 and 33 of the 1997 epidemiological year (the weeks in which the greatest number of cases were recorded) was lower than the same period in 1996.
In addition, a monitoring system for the reporting of cases to the Escuintla Health Area Headquarters was implemented at that time, and cases of dengue treated in the Escuintla Social Security Institute were included in MOH statistics as well.
