Abstract

The objective of this research work is to estimate, through a mathematical model, the population that received humanitarian aid due to the emergency or natural disasters that arose in the coastal and highland regions of Ecuador. The statistical model of multiple linear regression was applied, which considers seven explanatory variables: (1) affected population (2) affected population (3) affected houses (4) destroyed houses (5) hectares of affected crops (6) hectares of lost crops (7) probability of occurrence, with the following scheme


Y=β01X12X23X34X45X56X67X7+ei

The work data correspond to 811 records in the period 2016 - 2020 and come from the reports of the National Risk Management System and the fire departments of Ecuador. Seven variables were considered, however, only three variables express validity, consistency and reliability of the parameters and are within the acceptance range. The results of the multiple linear regression model were: Y=36451+0.16X1+0.38X2+0.858X3+ei, from this statistical tool it is intended to predict future impacts due to emergencies or disasters in order to plan logistics and immediate assistance designed to save lives, alleviate suffering, maintain and protect human dignity, in prevention or in emergency situations and/or rehabilitation.
