| Deskribapena: | An affectation indicator for natural hazards was created. This indicator considers direct and indirect affectation based on variables included in the DesInventar database and the CNE reports between 1970 and 2015 at a district level. This information led to determine the location of the most vulnerable communities of the Alajuela canton. After this process and with the cooperation of Integral Development Associations through interviews and fieldwork, the vulnerability of these populations was identified. As a result, the most affected districts and the most vulnerable communities to natural hazards in the Alajuela canton were identified. This information will be used by the Alajuela Municipality for risk mitigation, prevention, and management. |
