The borough of Venustiano Carranza has an area of 33.42 km² (8,258 acres), which is 2.24% of the total area of Mexico City. It is in the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, in a land of 3,341 ha (8255.79 acres) where there are mainly lake deposits. To the north of the borough, there stands a structure of 2,290 m.a.s.l. which pertains to what is referred to as Peñón de los Baños. Since the COVID-19 pandemic got to Mexico in 2020, there was a general change throughout the country in the population behaviour regarding their daily life. However, an analysis should be made on how risk is understood in times of COVID-19 in towns where risk-related problems normally occur. For the perception analysis, the town Peñón de los Baños was used a sample. In this town, floods are recurring during the rainy season, and it is one of the towns that was most affected by the pandemic during the first wave (April and May 2020), as more than 100 individuals died in just 2 months. The purpose of this analysis is to know how the population perceives the flood risk and behaves in an emergency phase, in the midst of a pandemic that entails sanitary and social restrictions, i.e., how is the population facing both problems: material losses and fear of getting infected. Both problems put people’s lives at risk, but the results show the priorities and the response process in the emergency phase that is currently implemented by the population.
Venustiano Carranza区面积为33.42平方公里(8,258英亩)，占墨西哥城总面积的2.24%。它位于跨墨西哥火山带，占地3341公顷(8255.79英亩)，主要是湖泊沉积物。在自治市镇的北部，有一个2290平方米的建筑，属于Peñón de los Baños。自2020年COVID-19大流行传入墨西哥以来，全国人民的日常生活行为发生了普遍变化。但是，应该分析在通常发生风险相关问题的城镇，在COVID-19期间如何理解风险。对于感知分析，城镇Peñón de los Baños是使用一个样本。在这个城镇，雨季期间洪水反复发生，它是第一波(2020年4月和5月)受大流行影响最严重的城镇之一，仅在两个月内就有100多人死亡。这一分析的目的是了解人们如何看待洪水风险，以及在造成卫生和社会限制的大流行的紧急阶段如何采取行动，即人们如何面对物质损失和对感染的恐惧这两个问题。这两个问题都危及到人们的生命，但调查结果显示了目前由民众执行的紧急阶段的优先事项和应对进程。

COVID-19 has triggered the scholars to think about how to improve the city’s ability to respond to public health emergencies. From the perspective of the community, this article reviews the risk cases in Wuhan chenjiadun community and other communities under the epidemic, and analyzes the response to public health emergencies such as infectious disease outbreaks in the excellent cases of resilient epidemic prevention communities. Then, combined with the planning of the life circle, it demonstrates the necessity of integrating the concept of resilience into the 15-minute community life circle to make up for the shortcomings of infectious disease prevention. Finally, it is proposed to strictly control the source and tail of the epidemic in the layout of the life circle, daily health and epidemic emergency should be taken into account in planning, community medical resources should be decentralized in management, and the application of smart technologies in the planning of life circle should be fully emphasized, so as to improve the community’s ability to respond to public health emergencies.
