EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI IN CHILE
For the frequent seismic activity in
Chile and in particular following the
earthquake of february 27, 2010, it
became apparent lack of systems
for communicating timely and
clearly to the people the basic
instructions for the protection of
life.
Since 1.570 there have been 108
earthquakes in Chile on a scale
greater than 7 º Richter, who
consider 11 tsunami (Ref:
Geophysics Department, Chile
University).

DISASTER RESPONSE IN CHILE
Strategic Plan ONEMI SUBTEL - Mobile Operators
On May 17, 2010 the Undersecretary of
Telecommunications signed with the
Mobile Network Operators agreement to
spread freely by the public network , the
emergency alert messages, which are
generated by the State to warn people of
one specific geographic area
DISASTER RESPONSE IN CHILE
Law 20.478 Emergency and
Reconstruction
“In emergency situations resulting from natural
phenomena, electrical failure or catastrophe the
operators of telecominicaciones services must
transmit at no cost……………. the emergency alert
messages assigned by public agencies authorized by
this Law.
This in order to allow the exercise of governmental
functions of coordination, prevention and resolution of
effects that may occur in emergency situations”.
A regulation will define the interoperation between
these warning systems and operators of
telecominicaciones services
DISASTER RESPONSE IN CHILE
Alert Emergency System
Analyzed some international experiences, the National
Emergency Office (ONEMI), Mobile Network Operators
and the Undersecretary of Telecommunications
(SUBTEL) agreed that the best alternative solution is the
implementation of the Alert Emergency System
Georeferenced, which provides for the distribution of
alerts by mobile networks, Digital TV, Radio, Speakers,
Social Networking, etc.
On April 15, 2011 SUBTEL – ONEMI, by public licitations
awarded the Alert Emergency System for Global System
Company, representative eVIGILO manufacturer's.

THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SYSTEM WILL ALLOW :
• Alert opportunely to the population about emergency situations.
• Have a mass alert system that is not affected by the congestion of
public networks.
• Send alert messages to specific geographic areas.
• Generate messages centralized under the responsibility clearly
defined by the Chile State.
• Process the events, signals or warning information.
• Develop various alert messages to the affected area.
• Automatically validate the alert messages (source, content,
destination).
• Send messages to mobile networks of all technologies (2G, 3G, 4G).
• Interconnection with mobile networks for delivery of the message and
the information associated with of warnings.
• Inform the population and save lives.
