Keywords:
flood, risk, rain, environment, populationAbstract
Rivers are fundamental elements in populations and at the same time represent risks arising from extreme events. The objectives of this work were to identify the main environmental effects caused by the overflow of the Pindo Grande River in the Shell parish and to know the state of emergency preparedness of the population. A survey format was developed that collects socioeconomic information, housing, services and effects due to the river floods, which was applied to 135 people located in neighborhoods surrounding the river. It was determined that the majority of the population has not been trained for emergencies and the flashlight as the most reported equipment and the main impact was on the water and electrical service provisions. It is concluded that the areas surrounding the river are exposed to risks due to flooding and the majority of the population has not been trained in emergency management.
