The total number of fatalities due to landslides was verified using two sources already provided by the GEID database. Landslides accounted for at least 485 of the total fatalities, which happened in the landslide of Santa Tecla. Higher numbers (585-600) are reported in several sources, but they seem to add 'disappearances' occured in other parts of the country. No source confirms that those additional fatalities were not due to ground shaking.
Verified that the sum of disaggregated fatalities matches the original totals.
