Beatriz Edith Vega-Serratos ((Professor and Researcher at EPOMEX Institute-UAC)
PhD B. Edith Vega-Serratos is a Civil Engineer with a focus on hydraulics, she has studied the runoff in the basins of the state of Campeche and the hydraulic behavior of its rivers under the presence of extraordinary events through instrumentation and numerical modeling. Her approach aims to understand the interaction and effects that hydrological, hydraulic, supply and drainage systems have with the various disciplines that converge in the coastal-marine zone. Likewise, it aims to provide knowledge for the management and integrated management of natural risks from various perspectives, ranging from civil protection, land use planning to the evaluation of economic losses due the effect of extreme scenarios and climatic variation.

Natural Risks Atlas in Campeche, México: Baseline to understand the effects of climate variability.
According to disaster risk reduction policies, Mexico has implemented a variety strategy to comply with the actions of the Sendai Framework and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) to achieve the strengthening of Comprehensive Risk Management (CRM). The National Risk Atlas (NRA) has been done through universities and research companies in union with municipal, state, and federal governments, with the goal to knowledge about disaster risk and its causal factors. Following the Civil Protection Law in Mexico, the NRA constitutes the reference framework for the elaboration of policies and programs in various stages of Risk Management.
The Natural Risk Atlas is a geographic information system, that it is composed by hazard and susceptibility maps, inventory of exposed assets, inventory of vulnerabilities, risk maps and risk scenarios. This work presents the Atlas of Natural Risks for state of Campeche, located southern Gulf of Mexico, that has been developed by EPOMEX Institute of Campeche Autonomous University, this tool evaluates the main hydrometeorological hazards, for example floods due to overflowing rivers, storm surge associated with hurricanes and Nortes winds, drought and landslides that impact the study area, as well as its main updates and future work lines
