Diseño de un plan de gestión de riesgos y desastres ante eventos naturales para la parroquia de Aloasí, cantón Mejía

Abstract

In this research, a risk management plan was designed for the Aloasí parish, taking into account that it is located on the slopes of Mount Corazon, which makes it more susceptible to socio-natural phenomena, aggravating the way of life and lifestyle of the inhabitants of the parish by not having the proper technical and logistical framework corresponding to the risk management plan. The research was of vital importance to face the different adverse events, from the conception of prevention, preparation to mitigation. Taking into account that risk management should be operated from the cantonal, national and provincial levels, since they are responsible for having the economic and human resources to undertake this type of planning, the delimitation of the impact zones of the parish was analyzed for the development of the risk management plan through the ArcGIS tool using data obtained from the IGM, as well as determining the incidences of vulnerability and risk of disasters through the analysis of information on natural hazards (location, severity, frequency and probability of occurrence), severity, frequency and probability of occurrence of an event), information on natural ecosystems (slopes and stability, river flow, vegetation cover), information on population and infrastructure (data on vital infrastructure and human settlements).
