Abstract

In Peru, an ally to counteract forest fires is the identification of Vulnerable points in the event of a possible disaster. The objective of this investigation was to diagnose by means of geographic information systems, the study of the risk and prevention of forest fires in protected natural areas of Cuzco. The analysis scope consisted of 6 protected natural areas, of whichheat maps were obtained using the free software program Qgis in version 3.16.8, with specific radii according to their land area. The results express the identification of vulnerable points to a possible forest fire, locating them geographically within the defined radius, identifying them with the color range according to the risk matrix of the Manual for Risk Assessment of National Center for Disaster Risk Estimation, Prevention and Reduction (CENEPRED), being these with the highest concentration of heat and risk. before a possible forest fire.
