Uso de Herramientas ESRI para la Modernización de un Inventario de Desastres Naturales en Colombia

Abstract

Having an inventory of natural disasters is extremely important, especially in a country like Colombia, which due to its characteristics has had a close relationship with these events. InDeSIG is a geographic tool that arises from the need to complement a disaster history with vector representation that corresponds precisely to each record, which is specified in the present study, with the use of ESRI applications such as Field Maps and Dashboard from ArcGIS Online, to find a connection that allows the registration of new events from a practical and cutting edge form, well structured and with ideas for future improvement; together with a Control Board that shows in real time the disasters contained in the inventory, to allow in an intuitive and very visual way - making use of web and mobile applications - decision-making that supports the mitigation and / or prevention within the framework of disaster risk management in Colombia.
