Similarly, there is mention of institutions, committees, systems, programs and projects required in Colombia to implement a national management of emergencies and preservation of vital information, previously established because it was necessary to develop the program to manage vital documents. Finally, it raises questions about systems that work to provide a solution to public entities and those that provide public services throughout the country in emergency care, using the technological tool of cloud computing. This, among other benefits, decreases the search times and positively impacts on the management and retrieval of information in important documents as soon as possible after a disaster.
