The project’s objective was to strengthen the capabilities of these capital cities and their most vulnerable communities, through the compilation of initiatives, identifi- cation of common policy guidelines and appropriate and manageable indicators, as well as the exchange of experiences at the national and regional level. The hillsides currently occupied by informal human settlements were the scenario selected for comparison between cities. In this sense, this document places the risk management activities performed by Lima’s Metropolitan Municipality within the context of the interest to develop tools to anticipate the impact of disasters. It is important to stress the fact that this project is the result of collective work performed within the Municipality, between the Civil Defense Sub-Management De- partment and the Urban Development Department, and with external participation, where valuable input was received, from the participants of the Workshops to ex- change experiences to reduce disasters taking in each Andean capital city. In Lima, these workshops were held during the 12, 13 and 14 of October 2006. The text starts of with a brief introduction on Lima’s problem related to risk cons- truction on hillsides; it characterizes the scenario in terms of the setting (the city) and the nucleus (Huaycán’s case), and presents the inventory and description of risk management practices and tools. A total of 11 risk management tools were identified. For Lima’s Metropolitan Municipality, the project has been a valuable experience, in particular due to the exchange of experiences with other Andean capital cities and the establishment of cooperation links that in the future will contribute to the design of risk management municipal tools. REGIONAL CATALOGUE OF MUNICIPAL MANAGEMENT TOOLS IN RISK REDUCTION AND EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS 7 Regional Project of Risk Reduction in Andean Capital Cities In this fashion, we will improve our risk management program, innovating our res- ponse to urban problems affecting the population’s security and living standard and contributing to raising the living conditions of the population occupying risk areas. In addition, it is evident that the reduction of risk conditions requires having a pa- noramic and integral vision of the city, the ongoing economic and social processes and their political and institutional contexts. Finally, I wish to express my gratitude to the technical
