Red de asistencia social como soporte en atención a desastres. Caso Bienestarina más® en un terremoto en Bogotá

Abstract

This research work, through a 6-phase methodology, reflects the degree of support that Supply Chain of the Bienestarina Social Assistance Program (SC-SAP) can provide in the aftermath of an earthquake in the Colombian capital. In order to reach generalizable conclusions, the constituent elements of this SC-SAP were evaluated, two potential scenarios of earthquake risk in Bogotá were determined, as well as their possible effect on network capacities and supply demands. The information obtained was the support for the design of the proposed mathematical models, through which the risk scenarios were evaluated, with variations in the parameters of capacities and demands for social assistance, thus obtaining a framework of results that allow to glimpse the potential benefits to integrate this program into disaster response. Finally, alternatives were proposed to strengthen this SC-SAP to integrate it into disaster response schemes. In this sense, future research was also suggested to materialize this promising cooperation strategy.
