Quality of Care and Implementation Process of Disaster Risk Management by Local Government in the ii.ee. Public in a District Municipality of Lima – Peru 2023

Abstract

Our planet is experiencing catastrophic natural events caused mostly by global warming and climate change, Peru is a country that does not escape this reality because it is located in the area called the fire belt, therefore, prone to suffer damage caused by natural disasters in almost all of its territory.

To the east of Lima, the capital of Peru, the district of Lurigancho Chosica is located, one of the places where natural disasters such as Huaycos occur almost annually (water slides, mud destroying debris), which repeatedly cause havoc, generating economic, personal and material damages.

In this sense, the local government and the Mayor (President of the District's Civil Defense Committee) have an important task to fulfill to prevent and mitigate the damage that these natural disasters may cause,

One of its functions as such, is to implement and manage an adequate risk assessment and promotion of a preventive culture, for which it should start this work by incorporating risk management from schools and in this way transmit them to the whole society in a manner sustained, which is not evidenced in a concrete way,  since when these natural phenomena occur they continue to cause damage at all levels.
