Popis:	Annually in Ecuador, flood risks are observed due to hydroclimatological factors, influenced by variability and climate change, the vulnerability of populations due to land occupation and poor urban planning in risk management issues. This research proposes an early warning system focused on citizen participation, analyzes the sectors most at risk of flooding in the urban area of the city of Milagro, and plans a methodology to previously alert the community to the occurrence of these events, concluding that it is a sustainable strategy to strengthen the capacities of the study population in order to build resilient communities and reduce their vulnerability.
