Welcome

Dear Visitor,


Our Urban Emergencies group will be studying the case study of Venezuela, with a focus on the Vargas region. In the coming three weeks we will update this blog with our newest developments. Currently we're studying the history of Venezuela and origin of the disasters to get a better understanding of the context we will be entering, this will be visualized in an evolutionary map. We're also starting to create a tentative strategy and work plan for the three month study that will be conducted.

So currently work in progress, but keep an eye on the blog for the presentation and more news....

Hasta Luego,

Team Venezuela

Nina, Alex and Chris
