The urban center of the municipality of San Nicolás, Estelí presents geological and climatic characteristics that propitiate the occurrence of multiple slope movements such as: translational landslides, rotational, complex; Also sinkings, lateral separations and falls of debris. These events put at risk the life of the settlers, due to the conditions of vulnerability with which they coexist in their environment. Due to the relevance of this threat, this study is focused on reducing the risks arising from slope movements, through the implementation of a risk management plan. The results of the study of Risks to slope movements of González (2011) were taken in the same study area, whose main result was a risk map, which was a starting point for the realization of territorial zoning. The risk management plan contains four development axes with a focus on disaster reduction: economic, social, institutional and capacity building, land management and the environment. It is in this last axis that integrates the territorial ordering in the management plan; It is proposed the zoning of the territory in function of the risk by movements of slopes, based on Decree 78-2002: Of Norms, Guidelines and Criteria for the Territorial Ordering.
