Abstract
This work reads the earthquake of April 16, 2016, from the Political Ecology of the disasters. Although all members of a community could be exposed to the same type of natural risk, there is a differentiation in the degree of vulnerability and marginality that different sectors face. It is also suggested that there is a type of risk among elites, which has been facilitated by action or omission by the State or local governments, such as tourism development on the “Ruta del Sol”. Finally, a classification of the level of vulnerability of the affected people by the earthquake, is proposed.
