Análisis de riesgos mayores y actualización del plan de emergencia de una unidad educativa de Conocoto

Abstract

This thesis, developed at an educational institution located in Conocoto, Quito, aims to analyze the major risks to which the institution is exposed and update its emergency plan. To this end, the William Fine, NFPA (fire load), and MESERI assessment methodologies were used, which allowed for the identification, quantification, and categorization of the natural, anthropogenic, and technological hazards present in the infrastructure. The descriptive and documentary research included an on-site inspection of the facilities, the collection of technical data, and the preparation of updated plans. Critical areas, fuel load by floor and block, and the institution's level of vulnerability to fires and other adverse events were determined. As a result, an updated emergency plan was designed that integrates contingency prevention, control, and response procedures, as well as the formation and training of fire, first aid, evacuation, and communication brigades. This plan seeks to safeguard the life and safety of the educational community, minimize material damage, and guarantee the institution's operational continuity in the event of potential disasters.
