Revisión de estudios sobre amenazas naturales y gestión del riesgo para la comuna cinco de la ciudad de Villavicencio, Colombia

Abstract

This article provides a detailed review of the information related to risk management in Comuna Cinco of the city of Villavicencio, Meta, focusing on the capacity of public entities and various institutional emergency mechanisms to manage risk in the face of natural disasters. A comprehensive document review was conducted in institutional repositories of different universities in the region, scientific articles, and public institution information. The review found that there are no detailed studies identifying natural threats and determining the vulnerable areas, as no land use adjustment has been made in line with the territorial planning framework. Additionally, at the administrative level, there are insufficient tools for disaster risk management, and the efforts by the Villavicencio Mayor’s Office in this regard have been inadequate. Pertinent information necessary to mitigate and address the issues affecting the community was not found.
