Desarrollo de una plataforma web para la estimación rápida de riesgos de desastres

Abstract

Nowadays, disaster risk estimation is done through manual, fragmented processes and limited tools. This situation requires repetitive document editing and hinders the timely delivery of results. To mitigate this problem, EstimaRRD was developed, a web platform for quick disaster risk estimation that can be adapted to local conditions and can generate technical reports agilely. The solution integrates the management of locations, hazard events, and vulnerability indicator variables. This data is used to perform the assessment, in which hazard events and vulnerability indicator variables are selected and evaluated by local authorities using a rating system. This produces a detailed report indicating which event poses the highest risk. Usability tests carried out on risk management professionals showed high acceptance and satisfaction with the platform, with a rating of 4.9 out of 5. They highlighted its ease of use, visual clarity, and usefulness for future analysis. Consequently, EstimaRRD is positioned as a tool to strengthen disaster risk management and reduction at the local level, which will help territories act with clear and technical criteria.
