Desarrollo de un aplicativo web para identificar amenazas y rutas seguras en situaciones de siniestro, basado en la generación de mapas y cartografía por estudiantes de Gestión de Riesgos

Abstract

Abstract: The increasing frequency of natural catastrophes and disasters nowadays has a significant impact on both people's lives and the economy. Risk management is a fundamental element to guarantee the safety and protection of the population in emergency situations. Ecuador does not have a specialized web application to assist in risk management, allowing the identification of threats, meeting points and evacuation routes in real time. This lack has made it difficult to take proactive measures and plan effective strategies to prevent, mitigate and manage the risks associated with these events and thus minimize their negative consequences. Therefore, this research proposes the development of a web application to identify threats and safe routes in disaster situations, based on the generation of maps and cartography, which aims to provide detailed and updated information on natural disasters through an intuitive and accessible web interface. The application will be a comprehensive solution, improving the response and safety of people in emergency situations by providing real-time geospatial information.
