VASQUEZ SANTAMARIA, Jorge Eduardo. The increased risk of Covid 19 in Colombia as a result the state of information for the prevention of technically foreseeable disasters. Rev. repub. [online]. 2020, n.29, pp.165-183.  Epub Feb 05, 2021. ISSN 1909-4450.  https://doi.org/10.21017/rev.repub.2020.v29.a92.

COVID-19 represents an increased risk. Based on the legal and political provisions, it is necessary to have elements for their mitigation, among them are the information systems provided by international and national legal mandates. However, their lack of updating, disarticulation or nonexistence triggers an increase in risk that seems to be aggravated in those territories where historically the information systems came to register greater damages as a consequence of natural disasters. This work aims to contrast the functionality of these information systems for disaster risk management with the needs of the pandemic in Colombia. Through qualitative research that applies the documentary strategy with a data analysis supported by triangulation, initially a contextualization of disaster risk management in the legal-political field is offered, information systems are addressed, and finally Contrast their functionality in times of a pandemic.

Keywords : COVID-19; disaster risk management; information systems.
