Departmental Committees for Prevention, Mitigation and Disaster Relief
The Departmental Committees for Prevention, Mitigation and Disaster Relief were created in 2000 when the National System for Prevention Mitigation and Disaster Care was legally established. The committees operate at the departmental level and in the Autonomous Regions in order to establish the policies required for their territory and to approve the territorial plans for disaster prevention, mitigation and attention, in harmony with the national level. Likewise, they approve and execute the measures and instruments required to comply with the purposes, principles and objectives of the National System in their respective territory. The Committees are comprised of the representatives of the institutions that are members of the National Committee that have a presence in the territorial, local and regional authorities and interested representatives of civil society organizations affected by the issues that the Committees work in.
