Nos últimos anos, os desastres naturais tornaram-se mais frequentes e ocasionaram mais danos. Para a prevenção destes desastres existem dois tipos de medidas: as estruturais e não estruturais, sendo que as últimas se destacam pelo baixo custo. Dentre as não estruturais cita-se o sistema de alerta, mapeamento de risco e educação ambiental. O geógrafo, pela sua formação, possui plena capacidade de atuar na prevenção de desastres. Contudo, observa-se que a sua atuação está aquém das suas possibilidades. Assim, o presente trabalho procurou demonstrar o papel que o geógrafo pode desempenhar no gerenciamento dos desastres principalmente em relação às medidas não estruturais.
In recent years, natural disasters have become more frequent and caused more damage. To prevent such disasters there are two types of measures: the structural and non-structural, being that the latter stands at low cost. The principals of these measures are the early warning system, risk mapping and environmental education. The geographers, through their training, have full capacity to act in the disaster prevention. It is, however, observed that their performance falls short of their possibilities. Thus, this study sought to demonstrate the role that the geographers can play in the disaster management especially in relation to nonstructural measures.
