This paper explores economic vulnerability in an industrial sector of Baja California, Mexico, during the first wave of COVID-19. In this regard, the Pressure and Release (PAR) model is used to analyze the information obtained from a panel of business representatives in the industrial sector. The results reveal several processes and factors that explain the fragility (vulnerability) of the industrial sector against hazardous events such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
