In the history of Vargas state several disasters have occurred, due to events such as earthquakes, landslides, floods, mudslides, etc.; being the mudslides of December 1999, one of the biggest due to the significant effects generated in people and assets. These effects were largely evident in Caraballeda parish. This event marked a before and after in the treatment of risk in urban planning developed in the country, and as a reult of it, disaster risk begins to be considered in an explicit and comprehensive way, especially by considering hazards as determinants of land-use. Despite the great step forward it means, there are still gaps in the treatment of these hazards, in particular, it is still necessary to make a better identification of risk,that helps to reveal or make manifest the exiting disaster risk or the risk that can be set in the future and that leads to the implementation of clear and concise solutions by decision makers.
