Climate change and extreme phenomena in the world have been
causing countless human and material losses, which has led different
governments to take action measures to mitigate and prevent possible natural
disasters, from the generation of infrastructure to the creation of laws or
guidelines that help normalize processes and action schemes. Specifically in
Colombia, and as a consequence of the girl phenomenon that occurred in 2010 and
2011, the risk management law was created by the Congress of the Republic in
2012. This law has obliged the different construction sectors to accommodate
new demands and depending on the different types of risks, depending on the
type of work to be executed or designed. In this book, a guide is presented to
determine the threats from fires and torrential floods that may occur in a
typical Colombian basin, taking as reference a specific case study.
