The process of misuse of land, lack of rain and several other factors can lead the region to become a desert. Once a region becomes deserted it may be impossible to reverse this condition.Frequently analyzing the risk of desertification can facilitate public policies to mitigate these effects.This paper aims to bring a proposal for risk analysis of regions that are at the nucleus of desertification in the northeast using vegetation data. This paper presented a high risk of desertification in 3 municipalities in northeastern Brazil.
