Abstract:

It is impossible to predict when the next major earthquake will occur in Chile, but there is certainty that it will happen at some point. Therefore, preparing for possible consequences can reduce fatalities and facilitate the country's social and economic recovery.
An effective strategy of preparing for an extreme earthquake is by generating seismic scenarios. In a seismic scenario, the effect of a potential earthquake at a specific location is simulated. It estimates the movement of the soil and the effect it would have on buildings, vital lines (water, electricity), critical infrastructure (hospitals, schools, carabinieri stations, etc.) and communications and transport systems. In addition, it simulates the generation of a tsunami and its possible effects. In this way, a seismic scenario becomes a planning tool that allows strategies to be established to address the potential consequences of an earthquake, helping to minimize its impact on society. Globally, cities such as Seattle, New York and the state of California have seismic scenarios that have enabled measures to be formulated to mitigate the consequences of a potential earthquake.
