Development of the Internationa Workshops in Perú.

As a conception, DesInventar, both methodology and software, has been developed since the 1994 as a project of LA RED. In the first years they were holded some workshops for the development of the methodology, including discussions and evaluations of data bases for 8 countries of Latin America, which were built by academic and research groups.

Since 1996 DesInventar started to being used by governmental organisms (like the National Civil Protection System SINAPROC of Panama ), and by other institutions in Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Honduras, Guatemala and Antigua. Additionally LA RED has support technical missions postdisaster in Honduras and Nicaragua (Mitch Hurricane, November of 1998) and in Venezuela (rains of December of 1999).

With these antecedents it was opportune to develop an international workshop that allowed the interaction between the DesInventar development groups from LA RED and the its different users. In this way with LA RED hosted the workshop that was organized by the Coordination of DesInventar in charge of OSSO. The workshop DesInventar International Workshop in Latin America and the Caribbean: balance and perspectives.
