Abstract
According to the World Meteorological Organization in 2022, the La Niña phenomenon continued for the third consecutive year, which is known as a “triple-dip”, a rare event as it generally occurs for shorter periods. This prolonged phenomenon had several global climate impacts, among them, it increased the action of tropical cyclones and hurricanes. Ko Barrett, climate policy expert at the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), emphasizes that the climate will continue to be extreme, highlighting the importance of early warnings and seasonal forecasts for El Niño and La Niña phenomena as crucial tools to predict impact at a global level. The impact is reflected in material losses, human lives, damage to communication routes, destruction in tourist areas, damage to the ecosystem and homes, among others. This research is based on a mixed methodology to reflect on this complex territory that interacts with a set of factors: economic, political, social, ecological and habitat factors. Consultation of plans and programs that regulate the territory, civil protection policies and analysis of successful cases. Its objective is to reflect on the relevance of civil protection protocols, prevention and the importance of strengthening robust early warning systems, the involvement of neighborhood organizations and government entities in order to mitigate the impact.
