Ps. 8, 26, 29, 56.

1 ´´ During the post-1950s period massive and rapid domestic migration to urban settlements, poorly supervised urban development have combined with an equally rapid industrialization process to deliver cities that are critically vulnerable to all natural, technologic, environmental and human-induced hazards. ´´

Ps. 8, 26, 29, 56.

2 '' Through implementation of this strategy that also forms part of KENTGES, objectives are established for strengthening the emergency infrastructure, formation of transportation and evacuation corridors, assembly and temporary shelter areas, disaster support centers and emergency facilities to allow for rapid, effective and timely intervention in earthquakes and other disasters.´´

Ps. 8, 26, 29, 56.

3 ´´ Determination of health facilities and social infrastructures to be used at times of emergencies shall be carried out. Health facilities, evacuation corridors, assembly and temporary shelter areas and other facilities that will be placed into service during and following disasters must be identified, and their standards established according to population characteristics and other special needs. In spatial planning activities integrated consideration must be accorded to identifying areas and facilities that will be placed in service during emergencies, transportation and health services, temporary shelter and logistics. ´´

Ps. 8, 26, 29, 56.

4 ´´Pilot settlement centers will be created in urban or rural areas vulnerable to earthquakes so that risk reduction plans are implemented.´´
