Costa Rica: Cot de Cartago landslide mitigation deemed insufficient, isolation risk persists

Residents of Cot de Cartago, Costa Rica, warn that ongoing slope stabilization work is inadequate to prevent further landslides that could isolate their community. A local resident likened the effort to 'sticking with glue something that is going to fall,' reflecting low confidence in current measures. The situation underscores chronic infrastructure vulnerability in landslide-prone areas, with potential for humanitarian and economic disruption if isolation occurs.
