This document explores one of the most aggressive hydrological disasters in recent years and the triggering events it entails, such as landslides and mass movements caused by climate change, examined under a social approach through community participation, whose value is publicly recognized but not sufficiently implemented in practice. The study aims to determine the current state of research worldwide. This work corresponds to a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), following Kitchenham’s structured methodology and using leading information sources such as Web of Science, Scopus, Science Direct, ARDI, Springer Link, among others; 64 scientific articles published in journals between 2018 and 2022 were obtained. This allowed for the identification of community participation in different vulnerable areas exposed to hazards generated by natural phenomena, where communities are the most involved in scientific studies, and whose research topics are aligned with the Hyogo Framework for Action 2005–2015 and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030. Both frameworks have promoted and strengthened community participation in disaster risk reduction. Understanding the importance of community participation in Disaster Risk Management (DRM) will be highly beneficial in harnessing the full potential of communities; undoubtedly, it will lead to progress in the sustainable development of communities.
