Every year, episodes of natural disasters cause damage in communities all over the world. In Brazil, those disasters mainly occur due to events related to external dynamics of Earth. These phenomena tend to intensify with global warming, as suggested by IPCC (2018), since one of the consequences of this warming is the increment of the incidence of extreme climate events. For this reason, …

This increasing is due to factors such as the growth of urbanization leading to unsuitable buildings and deforestation on hillsides leading to various social and economic problems and loss …
Natural disasters can be defined as events capable of causing serious disturbances in a society generating environmental, economic and social damages, and its degree of devastation is a factor directly related to the vulnerability of the affected community. Risk assessment is of utmost importance for planning and preventing such events in order to create more resilient communities, that i…
