Caracterización de desastres naturales y tecnológicos con énfasis en desastres hidrológicos

Abstract: Este trabajo da un panorama sobre los desastres asociados a factores naturales y tecnológicos. Se usa la base de datos EM-DAT de la Universidad de Louvain (Bélgica), que cuenta con datos desde el año 1900 hasta el 2018. Los desastres naturales prevalecen sobre los tecnológicos, respecto de la cantidad la relación es 66% a 34%, en cuanto a víctimas fatales los registros indican que el 93.2% está generado por desastres naturales, con relación a la cantidad de afectados la participación de los desastres de origen… Show more

“…A revision of the statistics of types of natural disasters from 1900 to 2018 shows that hydrological disasters are in first place worldwide with 38.5%; the percentage is even higher in South America with 56.9% (EM-DAT, 2019; Scuderi et al , 2019), where climate change caused by global warming is one of the most critical and influential factors, generating, among other effects, an increase of sea level, intense storms and floods (Paterson, 2017). Particularly in Peru, in the last 20 years there have been 87 records of different types of disasters caused by floods, earthquakes, volcanic activity, wildfires, extreme temperature, landslides and droughts; 49 of the 87 disasters were hydrological and caused the death of 1,087 people (EM-DAT, 2023).…”
