NUNEZ ESPINOZA, Juan Felipe. Structure and self-communitarian organization: elements of social resilience for disaster scenarios. Cultura representaciones soc [online]. 2020, vol.15, n.29, pp.331-364.  Epub Mar 07, 2022. ISSN 2007-8110.

Social resilience is a construction generated by institutional and communitarian systems that are activated when facing the emergence of adverse scenarios. This produces a record of organizational dynamics and structural qualities that can be measured and intervened for aid management in similar situations. However, any institutional system with zero social profiles will always be overwhelmed by the magnitude of the emergency. The social media approach allowed access to the complexity of one of these systems, by analyzing the aid exchanged during the Mexican earthquake emergencies in September 2017. One of the conclusions of the study is that resilience is a constructed ability for short time periods and what is required is immediate State intervention. Nevertheless, any institutional system without any social profile will always be overwhelmed by the magnitude of the emergency.
