Popis:	The manuscript proposed a procedure designed to determine the hazard of total coastal flooding during the impact of hurricanes, which uses in its formulation the combination of river flooding and that caused by marine upwelling, which is multiplied by a density factor of the water that finds an explanation for the effect is shielding and rising of the water level when the currents of both floods collide in the coastal zone. The application of the procedure experimentally in the coastal sector Sevilla, of the municipality Guama province Santiago de Cuba, resulting in the confirmation of areas previously modeled and estimated coastal flooding in the wake of extreme weather events in the study area; in addition to other new areas that confirm the actual visual and instrumental observations not included in previous studies.
