ALVAREZ-RIOS, Jorge Norvey; ARISTIZABAL-VELEZ, Paula Andrea; TORRES-PAVAS, Diana María e JURADO-ALZATE, Valentina. Validation of an instrument to measure the vulnerability in relation to the community's response capacity front of disasters. Rev. Geog. Amer. Central [online]. 2019, n.62, pp.278-301.

The validation of instruments is one of the indispensable procedures to guarantee the reliability and validity in the measurement of variables. In disaster risk management, there is a need to measure the threats and the level of vulnerability according to the different authors.
Objective:
To validate an instrument to measure vulnerability in relation to the response capacity of the community frontof disasters.
Methodology:
A semi-structured survey was designed, which was validated by an expert panel through the qualification of the indicators. It applies to the Alpha Cronbach test.
Results:
The instrument consists of 52 questions, which were validated by experts where the validity test in terms of sufficiency, coherence, clarity and relevance gave more than 0.9 this indicates that there is agreement between the evaluators.
Palavras-chave : Vulnerability front of disasters; validation studies; validity of the tests and reliability. (DeCS Server - List Terms)..
