Dear Dr. Hoyos and co-authors,

Thank you for the submission of your very interesting manuscript “Hydrometeorological Conditions Leading to the 2015 Salgar Flash Flood: Lessons for Vulnerable Regions in Tropical Complex Terrain”.

As you know, two reviewers have now provided detailed reviews, which you have replied in thoughtful detail to (thank you for the new figures). Both reviewers recommended minor revisions and therefore I would like to invite you to submit a revised version of your manuscript.

Would you please also provide an ‘author’s reply’ to the reviewers (feel free to use the same words that you used in what you have already uploaded). Please can you also include a track changes document between the old manuscript and the new one (you can include this as part of your ‘author’s reply’).

I look forward to seeing the next version of your manuscript which I will not send out for further review, but rather, will make the decision myself, assuming no major items come up in the revised manuscript for which I need outside reviewers to aid me in my decision.

Regards
Maria Carmen Llasat

Dear Dr. Hoyos and co-authors,
I am pleased to inform you that the revised version of your manuscript NHESS-2019-171 can now be accepted for publication in our journal Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences (NHESS) once you made two technical corrections:
Caption Figure 5. Please, substitute f and g by a and b
Caption Figure 9. It is difficult to understand, mainly the last sentence when you say “d) and f) Same as b) for the same time as c) and e), respectively”. Please, rewrite this caption figure.
Please inform your co-authors of the editorial decision.
Once you will send the new version with these two modifications, you will be contacted by the journal publication office for the preparation of the final version of your manuscript. Please respond promptly to the requests of the publication office, as this will condition the time of your publication, and read carefully any copy-editing recommendations that they make.
I take this opportunity to thank you and your co-authors for having selected Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences (NHESS) for the publication of your scientific work. I look forward to receiving further contributions to our journal from you and your co-authors.
Sincerely,
Maria Carmen Llasat
NHESS Editor
