In disaster risk management, there is a need to measure the threats and the level of vulnerability according to the different authors. Objective: To validate an instrument to measure vulnerability in relation to the response capacity of the community front of disasters. Methodology: a semi-structured survey was designed, which was validated by an expert panel through the qualification of the indicators. It applies to the Alpha Cronbach test.
