Our city and prevention:

Useful information for all to help take care of our living space through risk management

This booklet is one outcome of the research conducted by the National University of Cuyo, Mendoza, Argentina entitled "Technological Risk Prevention/Mitigation in our Region through Strategic Communication."

The booklet includes a number of concepts related to risk management, and the identification of technological and natural hazards in the Province of Mendoza, as specifically applied to its capital city. Information on the environmental laws in force in this province is also included, as well as websites that address risks and disasters. In addition, contact information to request specific information from local organizations is also provided. Finally, a school prevention plan is included to address issues related to the existing level of vulnerability.   

As professionals and students of engineering, social communication, psychology, sociology and graphic design participated in its production, the booklet represents a positive expression of interdisciplinary efforts. It will be used as an educational tool for informative workshops, training sessions, and formal and informal education. It has already been distributed among the media in the province's capital city and represents the first delivery of publications planned by our team.
