Natural Disasters in the Amazon

The objective of this research was to evaluate the susceptibility of landslides in the Region of Vila do Conde, in Barcarena/PA, with the production of Thematic Maps, indicating the areas and points of risk in which the families are affected. The methodology consisted in the exploration of two axes: (a) Theoretical Part, consisting of a set of publications and documents, expressed in the Bibliographical Research; and (b) Practical Part, whose instrumental to collect the evidence of landslides was the application of the questionnaire to the Public Agents of the Fire Department, the Civil Defense and the Municipal Secretariat of Infrastructure and Urban Development of Barcarena. We also proceeded from direct observations on the cliff slopes, which were derived in the field report.
