Propuesta para la implementación de un guion de simulacro por terremoto para la ciudad de Cuenca

Abstract

Drills are part of emergency plans, and they are developed according to the dynamics of each city. The Secretariat of Disaster Risk and Emergency Management of Ecuador clearly states that the Decentralized Autonomous Governments (GAD by its acronym in Spanish) must take control of their legal powers in terms of disaster risk management; therefore, they will apply drill preparation, coordination and evaluation protocols. This study proposes the implementation of an earthquake drill script in Cuenca, Ecuador.
