This study describes a sociocultural diagnosis with various social actors who survived Hurricane Stan in Motozintla, Chiapas. The population was found to have different interpretations of the risk of natural disasters; the government institutions in the region did not have a plan for working in coordination with the population and the problem surpassed the local capacity for aid. An analysis of social representations indicated the need to work with the community and its institutions, as well as to implement processes to prevent and mitigate damages, based on effective permanent communication in the event of future threats. As a result of the analysis, a risk management program was prepared in the Sierra de Chiapas region to provide information and participative psycho-pedagogical strategies to the management of risk.
