CISMID held a training workshop for disaster risk management teams from the municipalities of Barranco, Villa El Salvador, and Chorrillos, as well as technical personnel from CENEPRED. The session introduced the expert system developed through binational cooperation—a technological tool that integrates a network of seismic sensors and accelerographs designed to monitor structural impact in real time.
Participants learned how the system estimates and observes data before and after an earthquake, enabling early detection of structural damage. This information is essential for decision-making, such as defining evacuation routes and assessing the safety of key infrastructure like schools, hospitals, bridges, and reservoirs.
The workshop was led by Group 4 (G4) of the project and included Dr. Carlos Zavala and Dr. Koichi Kusunoki, as well as researchers Dr. Miguel Díaz and Eng. Ítalo Inocente, who shared technical insights and answered participants’ questions.
This activity is part of ongoing efforts to strengthen disaster preparedness and promote the use of science-based tools in local response strategies. Special thanks to the Municipality of Chorrillos for its support in hosting the event.
