Abstract

This research was carried out within the framework of the project EARLY WARNING SYSTEM DUE TO FLOODS AND DROUGHTS AS A MEASURE OF ADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE DEPARTMENT OF NORTH OF SANTANDER executed by the University of Pamplona in partnership with the Departmental Council of Disaster Risk Management , the Government of Norte de Santander and the National Disaster Risk Management Unit. This document shows the development of the DESIGN OF THE EARLY WARNING SYSTEM FOR HYDROCLIMATOLOGICAL EVENTS WITH A GOVERNANCE APPROACH AND ADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANGE FOR THE MUNICIPALITY OF CHINÁCOTA NORTH OF SANTANDER whose objective is through the implementation of the system to measure the risks of municipalities and regions, thus creating an effective system that provides the necessary tools to communities to respond to possible threats that may arise, in order to activate alarm mechanisms, and carry out contingency plans that attend events recurring filed in the municipality. The design of the SATC had a first stage which consisted of making a preliminary technical diagnosis in the study area to collect primary and secondary information that serves as a baseline in the SATC, then the weather behavior was estimated before events such as: Floods , and landslides triggered by rain by means of climatological data, additionally, gaps were made in the Iscalá Gorge, characterized by presenting torrential avenues, said gates together with the installation of limnimetric rules that serve as a tool to monitor flow rates of water sources that represent a threat for the population of the municipality of Chinacota. Finally, manual rain gauges were installed in the vulnerable areas identified for the conformation of Community SAT and the socialization of the research carried out was carried out. This study allowed the institutional and operational assembly of the EARLY ALERTS SYSTEM IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF CHINACOTA NORTE DE SANTANDER, and the realization of improvements to the MUNICIPAL PLAN FOR RISK MANAGEMENT in order to make it an effective and preventive tool.
