with the seismic network, we notice the landslide within an hour. we have been looking at the seismic signals to look at the chronology. as bill said, the state has a department of natural resources and they to have maps with land slides. they are on the scene managing with the emergency management division supervising this. the survey came out with a lot of things to help understand the situation as well. right now, there's a coordinated effort going on to understand the landslide and figure out how it happened and the history and how we got to this point. >> i'm wondering predictive or risk zones. i think that's part of what doc is getting at here. >> right. right. >> it is a state responsibility. i, frankly, couldn't tell you exactly what maps they have and what they mean. >> if i may, i would be happy to offer a briefing specifically on that for you and your staff. what's done both within the u.s. geological survey federally and in the state. >> i think that would be very helpful. obviously, i mean the tragedy like this is going to raise the awar

local time on tuesday when the landslide happened.ast majority of these people sound asleep. at least 18 fatalities and this pattern very typical. you get the monsoon season that has picked up in intensity over the last several weeks across this region, brought down heavy rainfall, upwards of six to seven inches in a few spots in 24 hours. to give you a perspective, switch it around here and leave you with some developing situations, as far as the heat is concerned, because coming across a story that we have a heat wave developing over the past 24 hours, for portions of australia. temperatures in sydney getting up to about 77 degrees fahrenheit, 25 celsius. quite unusual. this is like spring-like conditions as opposed to the heart of winter in late july. this pattern, again, expected to continue for a couple of more days. it's only the sixth time in 155 years of data that sydney has been able to reach 25 celsius. 77 fahrenheit in the heart of winter. i don't know if you had a chance to speak to family, but there's something to talk ab

homeowners as they could find out whether or not the county found the money it needed to fix the landslides, the rest of the money i should say, or if the county has to buy out homeowners or another option not laid out in the past, a new option altogether. this began about two months ago when according to an engineering report by the county heavy rainfall triggered a slow moving landslide on piscataway drive. some homeowners question. ed whether it was due to rain or county negligence. either way more than two dozen houses have been impacted, six houses deemed unliveable and directly threatened by the landslide and 22 other houses unsafe because sewer and water was temporarily disconnected from the neighborhood. the engineering firm has determined it would cost about $22 million to stablize the ground and it would take several more months to fix the properties. the county can spare no more than $11 million. they've turned to state and federal agencies for the rest, the other $11 million, but they've hinted in the past it would be unlikely for either feds or state to foot the remainder of th

as we thought this meeting might produce some new suggestions, some new ideas to stabilize the landslides, in getting people back with their homes as we thought it might be a better idea of what direction the county will ultimately go in and win and that none of that would happen here today. but what they did talk about were the existing options that were on the table to try to get a little more clarity in terms of what they are working with as several options were floated on throughout the county and throughout the summer. what they would basically come down to is whether or not to stabilize that landslide and keep people in their houses or buy them out and condemn the houses or a combination of those two. now the challenge in all of this is how you pay for it as it will not be easy as some of the options, they are approving to be impossible. the most recent option was pitched last week costing about $15 million as they would purchase and condemn about six of the 28 houses that are in jeopardy as they would stabilize the land and then they would allow the remaining 22 homeowners to retur

rescue workers are on their way to the remote village, 100 kilometers from the city of puma. landslides are common in the monsoon season in india. we learn why it takes time for rescue workers to reach the village. >> one reason they have been taking so long to reach this area is because it is a hilly area. this village in particular lies at the foothills of one of the big mountain ranges in western india. it is the monsoon season and has been raining very heavily in this part of the last few days. it is about 200 kilometers east of mumbai where i'm in right now. and, yes, the estimate is that there were about 150 people in this village. what we don't have clarity on right now is when exactly this occurred. some people are saying it was possibly very early in the morning, while others put the time at about 8:00 a.m. local time. difficult right now to find out whether people were out and about or whether they were in their homes sleeping. >> the landslides as we mentioned quite common in that area. has the weather been extraordinary or has it pretty much been an average year and this is
