Keywords:
natural disasters, risks, catastrophes, urban and territorial planningAbstract
This article discusses different aspects of natural disasters in Peru over the last decades, due to the fact that the territorial features of this country result in a permanent natural risk that threatens its geography, where cities suffer part of the most important catastrophes. For this reason, this article suggests the need for a disaster prevention policy to foresee and mitigate the impact of these disasters, highlighting the idea that this is a mission for all members of society, and putting forward the role of urban and territorial planning as a tool for prevention.
An important part of this investigation is the result of innumerable actions taken by the State and by different private and public civil organizations of the Republic.
