Seismic Analysis, Natural Disasters, Critical Infrastructure, Institutional resilience, Risk assessmentAbstract
The study explores seismic vulnerability in public institutions in Ecuador, focusing on its impact on the operability and economic management in the face of disasters. Faced with the challenge of a limited response to earthquakes, the objective is to evaluate how structural vulnerability and the deterioration of economic infrastructure compromise efficiency in emergency situations, including the economic analysis of the human losses caused by this problem. Through a mixed methodology, which includes surveys based on recommendations of the United Nations Development Program, it seeks to identify critical areas to improve disaster response and assessment capacity. The results underscore the urgent need to strengthen preparedness and resilience, promoting the development of policies and strategies for more effective risk management and the protection of the population and infrastructure against seismic events.
