| 5 | Metropolitan Municipality of Lima | 31170 | Peru | Lima | C40 | 2015 | Frequent/Intense Rainfall | Serious | Current | 23/03/2015.- A consecuencia de las intensas precipitaciones pluviales, se activaron varias quebradas que originaron huaicos, que afectaron viviendas, vías de comunicación y daños a la vida y salud, en el distrito de Lurigancho - Chosica. | (-12.046374°, -77.042793°) | (-9.189967°, -75.015152°) |
| 6 | Municipalidad de La Paz | 50364 | Bolivia | La Paz | 2015 | Frequent/Intense Rainfall | Extremely serious | Medium-term | El cambio climático podría incrementar lluvias intensas, causantes de inundaciones que podrían llevar a daños significativos de infraestructura. De acuerdo a escenarios regionales, se espera una reducción de los periodos de lluvia, con una probabilidad creciente de fuertes lluvias en periodos de tiempo cortos. En este sentido, Bolivia aun carece de sistemas para estudiar los patrones de lluvias, así como de sistemas de alerta temprana, lo que incrementa la vulnerabilidad de la población, en especial de los asentamientos humanos no planificados. Asimismo, muchas cuencas en nuestro país no cuentan con sistemas de manejo integrado de recursos acuáticos en marcha, ni contemplan actividades tendientes a la protección de cuencas. Esto se traduce en la degradación de suelos, la declinación de la recarga de acuíferos y la reducción de la disponibilidad de agua, lo que, en su conjunto, reduce la productividad económica y los ingresos de la población. | (-16.5°, -68.15°) | (-16.290154°, -63.588653°) | |
