This work gives an overview of disasters associated with natural and technological factors. The EM-DAT database of the University of Louvain (Belgium) is used, which has data from 1900 to 2018. Natural disasters prevail over technological ones, with respect to the amount the ratio is 66% to 34%, as for fatal victims, the records indicate that 93.2% is generated by natural disasters, in relation to the number of affected the participation of disasters of natural origin amounts to 99.8% and when considering material losses natural disasters contribute 99.2%. In addition, the following results were obtained: a) regarding the quantity, hydrological disasters occupy the first place, with 38% worldwide, 57% in South America and 58% in Argentina; b) in terms of the number of fatalities, global climate disasters account for 36%, while in South America and Argentina it is the geophysicists who generate 68% and 87%, respectively; c) considering those affected, hydrological disasters produce 48% worldwide and 95.7% in Argentina, while the weather generated 47% in South America; and d) regarding the economic losses, in the world the meteorological disasters contribute 44%, in South America the geophysicists generate 42% and in Argentina the hydrological ones produce 74%. In Argentina, hydrological disasters are those with the highest occurrence, which produce the greatest number of people affected and economic losses, but not with respect to fatalities, who contribute “only” with 8%. It is important to highlight the importance of water resource use planning policies as well as the management pre, during and after the occurrence of water disasters. |

Este trabajo da un panorama sobre los desastres asociados a factores naturales y tecnológicos. Se usa la base de datos EM-DAT de la Universidad de Louvain (Bélgica), que cuenta con datos desde el año 1900 hasta el 2018. Los desastres naturales prevalecen sobre los tecnológicos, respecto de la cantidad la relación es 66% a 34%, en cuanto a víctimas fatales los registros indican que el 93.2% está generado por desastres naturales, con relación a la cantidad de afectados la participación de los desastres de origen natural asciende al 99.8% y al considerar las pérdidas materiales los desastres naturales aportan el 99.2%. Además, se obtuvieron los siguientes resultados: a) respecto de la cantidad, los desastres hidrológicos ocupan el primer lugar, con un 38% a nivel mundial, 57% en Sudamérica y 58% en Argentina; b) en cuanto a cantidad de víctimas fatales, a nivel mundial los desastres climatológicos explican el 36%, mientras que en Sudamérica y Argentina son los geofísicos los que generan el 68% y el 87%, respectivamente; c) considerando los afectados, los desastres hidrológicos producen el 48% a nivel mundial y el 95.7% en Argentina, mientras que los climatológicos generan el 47% en Sudamérica; y d) respecto de las pérdidas económicas, en el mundo los desastres meteorológicos aportan el 44%, en Sudamérica los geofísicos generan el 42% y en Argentina los hidrológicos producen el 74%. En Argentina los desastres hidrológicos son los de mayor ocurrencia, los que producen la mayor cantidad de afectados y de pérdidas económicas, no así respecto a víctimas fatales, que contribuyen “solo” con el 8%. Cabe destacar la importancia de las políticas de planificación del uso del recurso hídrico así como también la gestión previa, durante y posterior a la ocurrencia de los desastres hídricos.
