Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the technological vulnerability of the population of around the basin hydraulic do weir Manoel Marcionílo. Families are highly vulnerable to technological vulnerability index of 78.7%, being ranked as very high and unacceptable. The high value found expresses the critical levels of exposure and vulnerability to environmental disasters on the population living in the basin, also reveal the absence of effective public policies that promote sustainable development, as well as the total ineffectiveness of actions aimed at minimizing the effects of climate threats, such as recurrent drought in this region.

Keywords: Hydraulic Basin; Technology vulnerability; Environmental disasters.
