Peru sustainable (resilient) cities programme 1998-2012. Its application 2014 - 2021

The Maule 2010, Chile, and the Tohoku-Oki 2011, Japan, earthquakes have reconfirmed that superficial geology is critical in the seismic intensity, and for predicting the occurrence of soil liquefaction, one of the most damaging seismic effects.From 1998 to 2012 multihazard maps, land-use plans for reducing risk, and disaster mitigation project profiles were developed for 175 Peruvian cities by Peru's Civil Defense (INDECI) and UNDP. During the Ica, Peru, 2007, earthquake, the actual damage distribution in Pisco, Tambo de Mora and other cities, agreed very well with the multihazard map developed six years before, showing how useful those maps are Kuroiwa and Delgado (2012). In 2013 the author proposal to Peruvian Engineers Association (CIP) and INDECI to complete the SCP, so that in 2021, the year of Peru's Bicentennial of its Independence, most of the 175 cities may have their SCP implemented.
