Yesterday’s events allow to understanding today’s vulnerability. Within this scope, seven case studies are presented based on accidents and disasters that have occurred in La Paz, Lima and Quito since 1987. The introduction presents the criteria set for their selection. In order to be able to compare cities and learn as much as possible from these events, a common analysis methodology has been adopted. It focuses on the event’s context, its consequences, the structural vulnerabilities, the vulnerabilities linked to the crisis management and the impacts on the risk reduction policy.
