Abstract

This study examines civil defense actions in the state of Pernambuco, specifically in relation to the duties according to the publication of the National Policy on Protection and Civil Defense (Federal Law No. 12,608 / 2012) regarding prevention/mitigation policy risks and vulnerabilities. Prevention/mitigation policy risks and vulnerabilities are extremely important issues for Brazilian society, mainly due to increased losses and damages caused by natural disasters. Brazil has recently seen a significant increase in natural disasters which have resulted in the loss of life and material damage, these natural events have similar characteristics and frequency by region. Coupled to this, the urban spaces of occupations uncontrollably, often in areas unsuitable for occupation, contribute to the growth of extremely vulnerable communities to environmental risks, born of omissions and failures of public administration in the prevention of natural disasters. In order to systematize this research though a qualitative approach, were identified and evaluated projects and educational actions of CODECIPE to understand the limits and possibilities of the actions developed. Therefore, were considered some procedures and techniques such as observation, collection and analysis of official documents under the CODECIPE, semi-structured interviews and literature, with specific focus on its theoretical foundations and objectives. From the data collected and analyzed found that the issues are relevant, however, there are structural problems in the municipalities that receive training, discontinuance of proposals and overload of the instructors, the effective small people able to work in the training process. On the other hand, we have also identified expert faculty with essential conditions to promote the transformation of the management culture and perception of risk in the population, through proper planning to local needs. It is argued here the proposal of an effective approach to disaster prevention and mitigation to be used by CODECIPE, based on the principles of ecoformadora education, viable for protection actions and civil defense with sustainable behavior correction and prevention
