Abstract

Municipal Master Plans have a fundamental role in disaster risk management. In this article, we carried out a study on the National Policy of Protection and Civil Defense – PNPDEC (Law no. 12.608/12) and on Urban Policy relating disaster risk reduction and urban planning, considering the municipality of São José dos Campos-SP as a study site.  Relating the urban zoning to the risk areas in the municipality, we observe that they are located both in the urban area and in the rural area, where occupation is legal, but does not follow basic building standards, which increases the risk of landslides and floods. Although there are advances in the Master Plans and in the policy of disaster risk reduction in São José dos Campos, the issue of disasters is also related to the growth characteristics of the city (clandestine and irregular subdivisions), and lack of public policies addressed to housing support for low income people.
