The proposal of this research is to suggest that the State Fund for Protection and Civil Defense – SFUNDPCDE, if created, ensure the implementation of public policies that can promote the full development of Risk and Disaster Management (DRM) in the State of Pará. The DRM is a social component that is based on planning, organization, direction and control, aiming to monitoring extreme weather behavior, risk reduction actions, disaster management and recovery of areas affected by adverse events (USAID / OFDA LAC 2013). As an issue of social demand emanated from the public interest, it could ensure instruments and control of its execution - MP, BGL and ABL. The SFUNDPCDE would become a contingency tool for the State, during adverse events happened periodically which can affect directly the execution of public programs, economy, health, safety and so one. The methods of research used were bibliographical survey and documentary analyses which after massive comparison among legislation dealing with the same subjective, scrutinizing the necessary elements to turn into feasible, through competency-checking within state in legislate, of analyses in how it could be the fund management and its ways of generate revenues. The conclusion of this research is intended to show the importance that the implementation of the fund in Pará would promote, for example projecting the government agenda a as public policy.

The present research is based on statistical methods applied as an analysis tool in the study of the interaction between ocean and atmosphere in the up and down behavior of the Branco river in Boa Vista. Individual associations for years of floods and droughts conditioned to the oceanic component, evaluated by Sea Surface Temperature (SST) in the monitored areas of Niño 1 + 2, Niño 3.4, Niño 3, Niño 4 and North Atlantic Tropical (ATN); (PD) and Tahiti (PT) regions were evaluated through the acquisition of monthly climatic data from the Climate Prediction Center in 1982-2016. These associations aimed to investigate if these areas present favorable indicatives for extreme years of floods and droughts. Significant correlations were found above 0.5 in most flood and drought events in the following areas: Niño 1 + 2, Tropical Atlantic North, both with a lag time of 4 months, and the Darwin and Tahiti regions, but the effects of these variables to change the fluviometric regime of the White River in Boa Vista is 6 months. This information obtained through the calculation of the correlation coefficient (r) allowed the use of the Least Squares Method to model the prediction of the variability of flood and drought events induced by the seasonality of the Branco river. The long-term trends and numerical oscillations reproduced by the model for both scenarios were compared with the level measurements for the period 2011-2016. The results showed good performance of the model, with a percentage error of 30% for the prediction of drought events and 34% for those of floods, thus indicating that the selected input components exert a great contribution in the predictability of hydrological extremes in Boa Vista. Given this, it is suggested that this study can become operational in the monitoring centers of the state of Roraima, as a tool to support planning actions in the period of floods and droughts.

Percepção de risco e vulnerabilidade social dos moradores de Ajuruteua.
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2018-07-04) OLIVEIRA, Ubiranilson Santos de; PIMENTEL, Márcia Aparecida da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3994635795557609
This study investigates the perception of risk and social vulnerability of the residents of Ajuruteua, a beach located 36 km from the town of Bragança-Pará. Part of this area is considered as a very high risk to marine coastal erosion, as noted by the destruction of properties located by the sea. Erosion is a natural event that affects people’s safety and it is triggered by anthropic factors, especially by disorderly occupation. Due to this the government proposes the evacuation of people from risk areas, because they are vulnerable to erosive action. However, it comes across the economic factor of the families involved, since the income of the people living there depends on the fishing, commerce, houses rental, hostels and other activities developed in the coast. In this perspective, this research aimed to verify residents’ perception on the risk of erosion, as well as to record their adaptation to natural events, and to monitor the impacts of removing the vulnerable population from risk areas to the municipality's headquarters. Such a context brings out the following issues: Can the understanding of the risk perception and social vulnerabilities of people living in Ajuruteua contribute to public policies for disaster risk reduction? The methodology was based on theory and method literature review, documentary research in public and private institutions and the application of a script of interviews with local residents and entrepreneurs. The objective of the interviews was to understand and identify the degree of social vulnerability of the resident population in Ajuruteua from the population 's perception of natural erosion events. It is hoped that the study will be able to contribute to public policies for disaster reduction, collaborating with the discussion about the different perceptions about the appropriate use of natural resources available in Ajuruteua.

Vulnerabilidade e percepção de risco de acidentes com barragens de caulim em Barcarena.
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-01-27) AVELAR, Marcio dos Santos; ANDRADE, Milena Marília Nogueira de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1930321094483005
The society uses the existing natural resources and generates modifications in the nature with constructions of artificial structures such as the dams. Like other anthropogenic interventions, the construction of dams can bring diverse social benefits, from the generation of electric power, regulation of the flow for the purpose of supply, irrigation, flood control or prevention of droughts. Specifically for mining, tailings dams are the most common form of existing tailings storage. However, associated risks accompany works of this magnitude and possible ruptures of a dam can trigger disasters. Impacts depend on the vulnerability of the environment and society and can drastically affect all locally constituted living elements and can cause loss of social and economic order throughout a mode of population organization. Thus, this study has the objective of conducting an analysis of the vulnerability and risk perception of the Industrial district and Vila do Conde, which are the neighborhoods around the kaolin reject basin nº3 (B3) located in the municipality of Barcarena (PA). To perform this research were used secondary data of the municipality, legislation and the Emergency Action Plan of the dam; and primary data obtained in the field from the use of 143 questionnaires. As results were identified elements that characterize the vulnerability of the populations downstream of the B3 basin, both in Vila do Conde and in the Industrial neighborhood, such as: the proximity of these areas of the B3 basin, family income less than one (1) minimum wage (71.33%), (29.37% do not have complete primary education), 60.14% of the households have at least one (1) child, and 36.73% have elderly and 4.17% with special needs. In this way it is concluded that it is important that there is an intervention of the public power in order to carry out preventive actions with the population, as well as to establish bases for its action in the event of a disaster event in the study area presented here.
