Abstract
Este trabajo de fin de máster se enfoca en analizar el impacto de las inundaciones asociadas al fenómeno El Niño de 1998 en el Hospital General Monte Sinaí de Guayaquil. Para lograrlo, se realizaron diversas tareas que incluyen el análisis de datos de precipitación registrados por pluviómetros del INAMHI y reanalizados por ERA-5, la aplicación de ecuaciones IDF para generar hietogramas de lluvia, y la cartografía de los valores de N de Manning en Guayaquil.
Se llevaron a cabo simulaciones hidráulicas para representar las inundaciones del evento El Niño de 1998, estimando la profundidad y velocidad de estas. Se elaboraron mapas de peligrosidad según la normativa española para evaluar el evento y se generó información sobre la vulnerabilidad y riesgos de la infraestructura hospitalaria, proponiendo mejoras en la planificación de emergencias del hospital.
Este estudio se alinea con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible de la Agenda 2030 de la ONU, específicamente con los ODS 3 y 11, que buscan garantizar una vida sana y lograr que las ciudades sean inclusivas, seguras, resilientes y sostenibles. Evaluar la resiliencia de infraestructuras críticas como hospitales frente a fenómenos climáticos extremos es fundamental para alcanzar estos objetivos.
This master's thesis focuses on analysing the impact of the floods associated with the 1998 El Niño phenomenon on the Hospital General Monte Sinaí in Guayaquil. To achieve this, several tasks were carried out, including the analysis of rainfall data recorded by INAMHI rain gauges and reanalysed by ERA-5, the application of IDF equations to generate rainfall hietograms, and the mapping of Manning's N values in Guayaquil. Hydraulic simulations were carried out to represent the floods of the 1998 El Niño event, estimating flood depth and velocity. Hazard maps were prepared according to Spanish standards to evaluate the event and information was generated on the vulnerability and risks of the hospital infrastructure, proposing improvements in the hospital's emergency planning. This study is aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN's 2030 Agenda, specifically SDGs 3 and 11, which seek to ensure healthy lives and make cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable. Assessing the resilience of critical infrastructure such as hospitals to extreme weather events is fundamental to achieving these goals.
