CLASSES DE AÇÕES PRIORITÁRIAS EM UMA NOVA ABORDAGEM À GESTÃO DO RISCO E DE DESASTRE DE SECA

Abstract

Studies on strengthening resilience to disasters have been increasing, in view of climate change and global warming. In this sense, drought disasters are the ones that cause the most economic losses in Brazil and can occur in areas of the country's regions. Thus, strategies that offer assistance to decision-makers can be fundamental for drought risk and disaster management. Thus, the main objective of this research was to indicate the priority classes of actions for drought risk and disaster management, to strengthen the resilience of municipalities or better coexist with drought. Drought record data were obtained from the Integrated Disaster Information System - S2iD, and processed in a verification matrix to categorize municipalities in priority for resource investment (very high, high, medium and low) and indicate the priority classes of actions (prevention, preparation, response and recovery) for each situation of the municipality in the drought risk and disaster management cycle. The study also showed that approximately 13.2% of municipalities are categorized as high priority, 1.3% as medium priority and 85.5% as low priority. There were no municipalities categorized as very high priority.
