Workshop Mejicanos (1) 13/05/09 – Urban Emergencies

Workshop Emergencias Urbanas en Sector Montreal, Mejicanos.

Hola somos Barbara, Wouter y Dieuwer estudiantes de arquitectura y urbanismo de Universidad TU Delft de Holanda. Nosotros estamos en El Salvador para hacer una investigación de desastres naturales y acciones para moderar de riesgo y la ayuda después del desastre. La investigación llama emergencia urbana y tiene lugar a cinco otros países mundialmente. En sector Montreal usted convive frecuentemente con riesgos de inundación y deslizamientos de tierra en invierno. Nosotros trabajamos con Procomes, Fundasal, Cordaid (ONG de Hollanda) y Victor Perez para levantar un mapa de situación de sector Montreal. Nuestra intención es llegar a conocer como el sector de Montreal ha crecido y como los desastres han afectado el desarrollo. Our results from the research will be published and reach an international audience as well as national NGOs, offices, institutions and the UCA university in El Salvador. This workshop is about the state of liveability, urban conditions and future development possibilities concerning your community and sector Montreal in relation to natural disasters and the responses initiated by different actors. Nosotros están muy agradecidos por su colaboración y esperando con ansia los resultados de nuestra investigación. Si tiene alguna pregunta acerca del taller o de nuestra investigación no dude en contactarnos.
