Information return stage, follow-up and updating of the registry, so that each was placed in a current, vulnerable or highly vulnerable state. Then, the philosophical and strategic approach of the plan was formulated, generating a SWOT matrix for which participatory workshops were carried out and from this the critical nodes and key success factors were prioritized. Subsequently, plans and programs were formulated based on the axes of protection, transmission, revitalization, promotion, dissemination and revitalization. A total of 58 events were validated, establishing that vulnerability was distributed in 13,7% as highly vulnerable manifestations, 39,6% are vulnerable and 46,5% are in force, consequently, using the prioritization of critical nodes and key success factors, 5 strategies, 3 programs and 8 projects were formulated to safeguard these manifestations.
