Scanning in disasters on all scales.
Conception, methodology and analysis of disasters in Latin America using DesInventar.

This book condenses the analysis of the the inventories that LA RED started to develop by the end of 1993 under the Project Disaster Inventories in Latin America that in the first phase consisted of:

a), to discuss and to define conceptual and methodologic criteria on the analytical treatment of small, the medium and big disasters

b), to gather together the information on disasters from 1990 to 1994, with sources available, for a sample of 8 Latin American countries (Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Argentina),

c), to develop an instrument of systems for such purpose. In the second phase the project was extended with the participation of Panama from 1988 to 1997.

Cases of study and Special Applications

DesInventar allows to create new geographical units, to create new types of events and to create the associated causes; it makes possible to quickly consolidate the effects of a big disaster. Its application in special cases its ilustrated by multiple examples, here we show two of them: the spacial and temportal distribution of damages in the pipe water network of a Colombian city, and the inventory of detailed information on specific disasters in the NothWestern of Peru (Piura, Tumbes).
