Geologic Hazards
On This Page
Aside from drought and flooding, natural disasters that affect large numbers of people seem to be infrequent in New Mexico. In part, this is because our population density is so low away from urban areas. However, we are still subject to many geologic hazards, including:
Arroyos
Arsenic
Collapsible Soils
Contamination
Earthquakes
Mass-wasting
Mine Hazards
Oil-Field Hazards
226Rn
Radon
Sinkholes
Uranium Legacy
