Abstract
Beliefs, defined as unverified information of risk and danger, are preponderant factors in disaster management. In the case of the pandemic, beliefs define decisions and behaviors. The objective of this study was to confirm an explanatory model of beliefs about the risks and dangers of the pandemic. A cross-sectional, correlational and psychometric study was carried out with a sample of 100 employees of a civil protection institution in central Mexico. The results indicate the confirmation of the two dimensions of risks and dangers, although with a reduction of their indicators. The findings correspond to the reviewed literature because it emphasizes the mistrust between authorities and the governed. It is recommended to extend the model to anticipate risk exposure scenarios.
