 Introduction

An adverse event can be defined as the phenomenon that produces unfavourable changes in people, the economy, social systems or the environment; It can be of natural origin, generated by human activity or of mixed origin and can cause an emergency or disaster.

In an emergency, response actions can be managed with locally available resources; instead, a disaster exceeds the response capacity of the affected community.

For damage of any magnitude to occur, the threat and vulnerability need to interact in a given context, which sets up the risk that damage will actually occur at a certain level of impact.

Threat is defined as the external risk factor, represented by the possibility of an adverse event or phenomenon occurring that could cause harm to people or their environment, derived from nature, human activity or a combination of both, and that it can manifest itself at a specific time and place with a certain magnitude.
