The purpose of this research report is to relate the importance of the media to the dissemination of the culture of risk prevention in order to increase coping strategies as well as resilience. An exploratory study was carried out using qualitative and quantitative techniques through the application of a nonprobabilistic statistical analysis in localities affected by the earthquake of 19 September 2017 in the states of Morelos and Puebla. The results show that there is a link between the information disseminated by the media that guides public opinion, which becomes a critical factor that can reduce social vulnerability to a catastrophe. Trust in institutions was found to be a trigger for social resilience and environmental governance.
