Mission
The "Centro de Investigación en Gestión Integral del Riesgo de la Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Sur (CIGIR-UABCS)" (Center for Research in Integrated Risk Management) arises from a need to have a multidisciplinary group of researchers focused on the detailed study of the disturbing phenomena that impact the state of Baja California Sur and the Northwest of Mexico, as well as the research and proposal of strategies to reduce vulnerability and exposure and therefore reduce and manage the risks that endanger communities.
