Summary
A strong sense of community identity in Las Médulas, Spain, significantly enhances both vulnerability to disasters and willingness to engage in prevention and recovery efforts. This was revealed through participatory workshops following the 2025 wildfire, which also highlighted emotional responses such as loss and institutional distrust that shape collective resilience. The study identifies citizen-led proposals—like protective plantings and evacuation routes—as key to fostering a local risk culture, while noting governance challenges due to overlapping responsibilities. Effective prevention strategies must integrate social participation, local knowledge, and clear institutional coordination to build collaborative, multi-level resilience.
