A considerable part of Brazilian municipalities experience the recurrence of emergencies, related to different types of disasters, which weaken them, both the public administration and the citizens, while they are equally oriented to operate transitions in order to materialize the 2030 Agenda of the SDGs. Both acute local disaster crises and trans-scalar crises, which the 2030 Agenda atte…
Infrastructural systems (infrasystems) are entangled with social, technical and ecological systems at smaller and larger scales. How they are planned, implemented, managed, maintained and used has impact on sustainability outcomes. The transformation ofnational infrastructures, although usually implemented with the aim to improve humanwell-being, may carry adverse implications for human h…
In the perspective of the Social Sciences, disaster is a crisis (i.e., a sudden and unexpected tragic social event) delimited by a social space and a social time, which are indissociably connected. It presents acute and chronic stages, which may have links with other social crises crossing the life trajectory or routines of the implied individuals. Considering the diversity of fluxes (int…

From the many macrossocial implications of disasters, which the literature in the area is being developed, stand out the ones that focalizes the insufficiencies and institutional mistakes to deal properly with preparednes…

Brazil has multiple information bases, but still suffers from a deficit of tools that can capture and integrate this data in a cen…
