Resumen
Centroamérica es una región con múltiples y crecientes riesgos ante desastres naturales. Este estudio revisa cómo las ciencias sociales, principalmente en EE. UU. y Centroamérica, se han aproximado al estudio del tema en el istmo. Se observa considerable atención a eventos de larga data, pero que hay insuficiente investigación sobre desastres recientes. Gracias al análisis de regresiones de datos de la encuesta de LAPOP 2021, se confirma la vigencia y pertinencia del tema. Por ejemplo, se encuentra que los centroamericanos más vulnerables tienen mayor percepción de riesgo y han sufrido más estos eventos. El estudio social de los desastres centroamericanos tiene el potencial de facilitar diálogos transnacionales y transdiciplinarios y desafiar el entendimiento de estos eventos a nivel global.
