Abstract

Objetiva-se, neste estudo, caracterizar à ocorrência dos desastres naturais das mesorregiões do Nordeste do Brasil, a partir dos aspectos meteorológicos e sociosanitários, considerando o período de 1991 a 2013. Utilizou-se a metodologia Grade of Membership, fundamentada na teoria de conjuntos nebulosos, que permite classificar as mesorregiões em múltiplos conjuntos com distintos atributos. A tipologia delineou três perfis extremos: o predominante extremo 1 agregou mesorregiões com moderada ocorrência de seca e enxurrada, condições favoráveis ao excesso de precipitação, melhores condições sanitárias e maior urbanização; o predominante extremo 2 tem como características elevados registros de secas e enxurradas, condições favoráveis ao déficit de precipitação, intermediárias condições sanitárias e moderada urbanização; e o perfil predominante extremo 3 apresentou mesorregiões com elevados registros de inundações, condições favoráveis ao excesso de precipitação, mais baixas condições sanitárias e menor urbanização.
