Socio-environmental disasters and public policies: the trajectory of monitoring implementation by civil defense in Vale dos Sinos (2016-2019)

Abstract

The discussion on public policies with reference to adverse events called socio-environmental disasters can be prolonged as an action to mitigate their consequences. The study presents an analysis of some aspects of the implementation of disaster monitoring policy in the city of Novo Hamburgo, in a territorial context at risk, with flood area, overflow pumps, poor infrastructure, solid waste and basic sanitation. Floods redouble vulnerabilities as well as reverberating over public policy. In the presentation we use data from a decade-long research mapping the implementation of policy Civil Defence, as well as reports of those affected by disasters. In the research we used institutional documents, newspaper news on disasters, other newsletters and interviews with public policy managers or implementers and social actors. Monitoring policy is part of urban planning and the interpretation here has been given by the "top-down" approach, in a privileged way, but with nuances and changes.
