CVC-Corporación OSSO for seismic risk reduction in Buenaventura
Basic assessment and geological and seismological investigation, along with an accelerographic network, as input for the seismic microzonation of the urban and expansion areas of Buenaventura.
The risks associated with natural phenomena are the result of threats or dangers stemming from the inherent dynamics of nature—in this case, earthquakes, which can neither be prevented nor predicted—combined with the conditions of exposure to and intensity of the threat (proximity to the danger and the force or energy with which it occurs), as well as the vulnerability (the degree of resistance or weakness in the face of the effects produced when the threat manifests) of communities and their structures.
