This article presents the results of a documentary research on the concepts of socio-ecological system, resilience, community resilience and civil protection. For these last two topics, the academic discussions related to the areas of opportunity that exist for the generation of knowledge were examined. It was found that the gaps in knowledge indicate the status of the people in terms of community resilience against disturbing phenomena, as well as the limited participation of decision makers to face such situations. In this context, the design and operation of indicators is required to collect evidence on community resilience and investigate risk management to reduce vulnerability in a population. In addition, the government's capacity to respond to disasters, and the way to incorporate the sustainability approach as the axis of public civil protection policy must be deepened. Considering the results, it is concluded that there is a relationship between socioecological systems, community resilience and civil protection, from which multidisciplinary, systemic and holistic analysis frameworks can be integrated that allow addressing the problems derived from the interaction of the society and the environment in cases of extreme phenomena such as disasters.

Keywords : civil protection; resilience; community resilience; socioecological system.
