Abstract The impact of landslides is determined by the previous state of vulnerability and susceptibility present in a

community. Vulnerability is related to physical aspects and susceptibility is defined as the propensity or

tendency of an area to be affected by the occurrence of a given hazard. Knowledge of geography allows us to

characterize and measure some of these factors. For example, in landslides called huaicos in Peru, these are

related to the existence of a slope and soil type of the hills favorable to the loosening of land masses, as well as

the increase in rainfall and the presence of streams. The use of UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, commonly

called drones) for the identification of susceptibility zones is presented in this paper. The result is positive for

using the georeferenced data to identify potential landslide flow using as unique criterion surface slopes.
