EL INCREMENTO DEL RIESGO POR COVID-19 EN COLOMBIA A RAÍZ DEL ESTADO DE LA INFORMACIÓN PARA LA PREVENCIÓN DE DESASTRES TÉCNICAMENTE PREVISIBLES

COVID-19 represents an increased risk. Based on the legal and political provisions, it is necessary to have elements for their mitigation, among them are the information systems provided by international and national legal mandates. However, their lack of updating, disarticulation or nonexistence triggers an increase in risk that seems to be aggravated in those territories where historically the information systems came to register greater damages as a consequence of natural disasters. This work aims to contrast the functionality of these information systems for disaster risk management with the needs of the pandemic in Colombia. Through qualitative research that applies the documentary strategy with a data analysis supported by triangulation, initially a contextualization of disaster risk management in the legal-political field is offered, information systems are addressed, and finally Contrast their functionality in times of a pandemic.
