| Description | From 1994, the creation of a common conceptual and methodological framework was begun by groups of researchers, academicians, and institutional actors linked to the Network of Social Studies in the Prevention of Disasters in Latin America (Red de Estudios Sociales en Prevención de Desastres en América Latina - LA RED). These groups conceptualised a system of acquisition, consultation and display of information about disasters of small, medium and greater impact, based on pre-existing data, newspaper sources and institutional reports in nine countries in Latin America. The developed conceptualisation, methodology and software tool is called Disaster Inventory System - DesInventar (Sistema de Inventario de Desastres . DesInventar). The development of DesInventar, with its conception that makes visible disasters from a local scale (town or equivalent), facilitates dialogue for risk management between actors, institutions, sectors, provincial and national governments.
