This article discusses increasing risk conditions in societies, based on growing vulnerability of pre existing perilous scenarios. We undertook a participative diagnostic analysis of risks and community strategies regarding disasters in two rural locations in Pijijiapan, Chiapas. Results demonstrate the perception of risk, social conflicts that derive thereof, intervention strategies of key actors and the general population, and governmental responsibility for overall well-being and development, in tandem with relevant institutions.

Keywords : risk management; natural disasters; vulnerability; governance; rural locations.
