<p>Ecuador’s risk management secretariat said seven people remain missing hours after the landslide on Sunday in Alausi, about 137 miles south of the capital, Quito.</p>
<p>The agency estimated that 500 people and 163 homes were affected by the disaster, which also destroyed a portion of the Pan-American Highway.</p>
<p>The governor of Chimborazo, Ivan Vinueza, told The Associated Press that some of the injured have been taken to area hospitals.</p>
<p>He said residents and rescuers have been ordered to evacuate the area due to the imminent risk of new landslides.</p>
<p>Residents told local media they heard tremors on the mountain before the landslide, which is estimated to be about 490 feet wide.</p>
<p>Firefighters from half a dozen cities were sent to the area to help.</p>
