Evidencias sobre la vulnerabilidad biofísica en el caso del Huracán Patricia

Hurricane Patricia affected the Pacific coast of the state of Mexico in late 2015 and reached Category 5 on the Saffir-Simpson scale. This event was classified as the most intense in terms of wind gusts (> 400 km / h) and pressure ever recorded worldwide. The work of early warning, emergency mana...

Sumario:Hurricane Patricia affected the Pacific coast of the state of Mexico in late 2015 and reached Category 5 on the Saffir-Simpson scale. This event was classified as the most intense in terms of wind gusts (> 400 km / h) and pressure ever recorded worldwide. The work of early warning, emergency management and, above all, the combination of the above with a low biophysical vulnerability of the affected area substantially reduced the potentially catastrophic effects divined the strength and intensity of these winds and rainfall that accompanied Patricia
