Abstract:

In a context of disaster recurrence, naturalization or demotion of the concept to tragedy does not include all the dynamics and processes involved in affecting of communities and population groups most vulnerable to death and illness, such as the older ones. It aims to describe and analyze the socioeconomic, environmental and health context of affectation of older people in four municipalities in the states of Santa Catarina and Rio de Janeiro. Documentary research was carried out, as well as open data survey of sociodemographic, environmental, economic and health aspectsthese locations and population groups. Also, descriptive, interrupted time series analyzes and documentary analyzes were integrated. Among the results, documents and data raised point to lack of preventive or mitigating actions for priority groups. In terms of health, there are significant changes in hospital admissions for the elderly, for some groups of causes. It is concluded that institutional learning based on collective construction needs to occur to corroborate the disruption of disaster repetition cycle.
