Un Estudio sobre Vulnerabilidad y Resiliencia Social en Poblaciones de Alto Riesgo a Inundaciones en el Estado de Veracruz

A study on the Historic Monuments Zone of Tlacotalpan reveals that young students, particularly those with natural leadership qualities, can serve as effective agents for promoting flood resilience and protection civil practices within their communities. The research, conducted in Tlacotalpan, La Antigua, and Cotaxtla—municipalities frequently affected by hydrometeorological phenomena in Veracruz—highlights the potential of youth to drive community-level changes through education and proactive engagement. By analyzing survey responses from bachillerato students and interviews with key stakeholders, including local authorities and protection civil personnel, the study identifies practices that enhance social resilience while reducing vulnerability to climate-induced flooding. The findings suggest that fostering intergenerational and cross-community collaboration can strengthen solidarity and reciprocity, offering a model for similar at-risk populations.
