EARTHQUAKES AND GIS

The earthquakes are an ever present risk in the province of Cañete.
Its inevitable occurrence, coupled with the lack of prevention triggers a series of events that exacerbate the situation, as the landslides and rock falls loose accumulated in the areas or slopes, interrupting roads, bridges, tunnels, canals irrigation , electricity and water pipelines and damaging treatment plants and water reservoirs for the supply of towns, homes, shops, industrial and other uses, and in other cases affecting buildings of great cultural and architectural value.
The GIS allows geographic data link (city maps) with alphanumeric data or attributes
(demographic, geological features building, etc.) which can be permanently date, becoming a tool essential. Allow us to assume a scenario and obtain an immediate consequences. It can create scenarios before and after the event,knowing the values ​​or ranges of values, between which move the variables.
When allowed to handle significant volumes of information, generating crossing them under controlled, it is possible the rapid evaluation of different situations (eg when considering different and intensities of the movement characteristics of
response of the soil). This speed and flexibility appear as the major advantage of using system.
Generated likely scenario, it is possible to visualize the geographical distribution of physical damage to the building, as well as the network infrastructure analyze their interrelationships and to determine the losses direct and indirect.
Only after this knowledge is likely to project reduction strategies and urban seismic risk plans for the emergency.
