Risk management is a process to minimize the negative effects, on a territory and its vulnerable population, in the face of disasters that may originate naturally or by human activity, as can be seen in the existing chronology of the occurrence of the threats. The cantonal governments have the obligation to form Risk Management Units within their organic structure, as established by current regulations in Ecuador. This research was focused on one of the cantons with a D classification, with a low budget from the State. The application of the basic requirements -human talent, technology, products and services-, in the conformation of this unit, in the Salinas canton of the Santa Elena province. The descriptive analysis was carried out under the documentary modality, to evaluate the preventive actions, against the risks, of the population, according to the products and services of the risk reduction field, as established by the governing body, the National Risk Management Service and Emergencies, in the period 2018 to June 2020. It makes it possible to make visible the autonomous proce-dures that can be coordinated within the Decentralized National Risk Management System. Financing and specialized technical support within a social project through international cooperation can positively influence the development and strengthening of the reaction capacities of a population. The results obtained in risk prevention with the community and tourists, from the Salinas canton, are due to the advice, accompaniment of the Japan International Cooperation Agency, which after the earthquake that occurred in 2016, is executing the Project for the Construction of Cities Safe and Resilient against Earthquakes and Tsunami, where there are other Municipalities such as Portoviejo, Atacames, Esmeraldas, among others.
