Institutional Vulnerability: Training and care of intervention teams as means to manage risks. Analysis by a team of Argentine researchers

Abstract

As a contribution to the concept of resilience and its construction at the local scale, the article explores the actions developed by the municipalities of the Province of Mendoza during the period of Preventive and Mandatory Social Isolation (ASPO) that was imposed in the Argentine Republic through the Decree 260/2020, between March 20 and July 17, 2020; in relation to preparation, organization, prevention, response and recovery in the face of the Health Emergency by COVID-19. The policies are organized into categories and subcategories that allow analyzing decision-making at different scales and months in relation to Risk Management with corrective and prospective approaches. Subsequently, these actions are classified according to their importance, in relation to the process of building resilience, allowing conclusions to be drawn and proposals to be generated in this regard.
