Resumen
Anualmente en el Ecuador se observan riesgos de inundaciones por factores hidroclimatológicos, influenciados por la variabilidad y el cambio climático, la vulnerabilidad de las poblaciones por la ocupación del suelo y la mala planificación urbana en temas de gestión de riesgos. Esta investigación propone un sistema de alerta temprana enfocado en la participación ciudadana, analiza los sectores con mayor riesgo de inundación en el casco urbano de la ciudad de Milagro, y plantea una metodología para alertar previamente a la comunidad ante la ocurrencia de estos eventos, concluyendo que es una estrategia sostenible para fortalecer las capacidades de la población de estudio con el fin de construir comunidades resilientes y reducir su vulnerabilidad.
