The National Center for Disaster Risk Estimation, Prevention and Reduction (CENEPRED) and the private sector are working in coordination for the benefit of local governments affected during this rainy season.
The National Center, in collaboration with the company N&P Forest Wood Work, collected detailed data using the Remotely Piloted Aircraft System RPAS (Drones) to generate cartography of the area exposed to flood hazards from the Chillón River, in the sectors of Malecón Chillón and Avenida Malecón in the district of Comas and the housing associations Pardo Novoa, El Platanal and Villa Cruz in the district of Puente Piedra.
During the activity, information was generated for decision-making within the framework of Disaster Risk Management (DRM) associated with hazards such as floods and debris flows; thus strengthening public-private collaboration to create value from cartographic data.
The products generated, it should be noted, will be made freely available to the local governments of Puente Piedra and Comas, as well as to civil society, through the Disaster Risk Management Information System (SIGRID) platform.
It is worth noting that SIGRID is a freely accessible geospatial web platform, designed to consult, share, analyze and monitor information related to hazards, vulnerabilities and risks caused by natural events.
