Abstract
This article seeks, based on a review of the institutional competencies of state public security agencies, a relationship between these competencies and the propensity of each agency to be activated in the event of catastrophes. A survey of the legislation, especially of the public security agencies of the State of Goiás, was carried out, tracing their competencies from the provisions of the Federal Constitution, in addition to a brief bibliographic review on disaster response. Treated with the four state institutions of public security provided for in the Brazilian Magna Carta, it was evident that, due to its institutional competencies, the Military Fire Brigade is the body most prone to activation in response to catastrophes. In this way, it is possible to take a look at the institutions, including the formulation of organizational policies aimed at providing care to professionals.
