Abstract
This research seeks to know the level of sense of community, as well as social-emotional processes, that citizens of the city of Ibagué have to face traumatic situations such as the experience of living some kind of natural disaster, bearing in mind numerous risks to which they are exposed to. For that purpose, a report was carried out for four hundred inhabitants of the city; data collection was accomplished with the support of the Directorate of Youth and Entrepreneurship of the Municipality of Ibagué. The main outcomes are aimed at identifying a high perception of risk of being a victim of earthquakes and floods, a moderate level of sense of community, civic participation and social-emotional community processes.
