Vulnerabilidad, pobreza y desastres ´socioculturales´ en Centroamérica y El Caribe

Authors: Julián Salas Serrano;

Vulnerabilidad, pobreza y desastres ´socioculturales´ en Centroamérica y El Caribe

Abstract

El trabajo pretende el estudio y cuantificación del riesgo relativo en una geografía física propensa a los fenómenos naturales y con una alta proporción de población en situación de pobreza habitacional, del que se deduce que el riesgo en la zona conformada por nueve países –de Centroamérica y el Caribe- es extraordinariamente superior a la media mundial. Del primer aspecto se ocupan los apartados relativos a delimitar el ‘Área de Estudio’: fenómenos naturales y población bajo riesgo. El segundo aspecto se aborda estudiando la situación material objetiva en la que se alojan y viven casi 160 millones de habitantes: Pobreza en el ‘Área de Estudio’. En base a información contrastada se articulan los fundamentos en los que se sustenta la extraordinaria presencia y gravedad de los fenómenos ‘socionaturales’ en la zona. De la interrelación entre grado de exposición y pobreza se concluye que son los causantes principales de los desastres destructores de la zona, que en un período de 33 años (1972 a 2005) arrojan una media anual de 20.000 pérdidas humanas, 250.000 damnificados directos y del orden de 1.000 millones de dólares en daños materiales.
