The growing multi-hazard environment to which millions of people in the world are exposed highlights importance making sure that populations increasingly better prepared. objective this study was report levels preparedness a community two natural hazards and identify primary sociodemographic characteristics groups with different levels. A survey conducted on 476 participants from localities Atacama Region north Chile during spring 2015. Their level at home work assessed face types hazards:...
Abstract Risk perception has been largely examined in studies that have aimed to explain and predict preparedness behavior the context of natural hazards. Findings from on relationship between previous experience, preparedness, risk disaster situations inconsistent. Hence, main goal this work was explore influence physical emotional experience regarding This study conducted a statistically representative sample city Iquique, northern Chile ( n = 701), who completed survey one month after...
Previous studies have reported differences between men and women in the adoption of preventive behaviors against infectious diseases. This study aims to examine gender on a set psychosocial factors shown influence diseases such as COVID-19. We conducted web survey (N = 1.004) few weeks after end peak first wave infections Chile. The assessed participants’ perception risk worry about COVID-19 pandemic, confidence government’s competence integrity dealing with crisis, attribution...
The COVID-19 pandemic forced people worldwide to implement a series of preventive hygiene and distancing measures that have significantly altered their way life. This study examined an adapted version the Theory Planned Behavior (TPB) on adopting behavior against COVID-19. Data was collected using web survey completed by 1004 college students few weeks after first wave infections in Chile. Our findings show subjective norm strongest predictor behaviors, followed knowledge level perceived...
Although Chile is one of the countries most exposed to natural hazards, date there no national index that shows differences in resilience levels within country. This study develops a community on scale based Baseline Resilience Community (BRIC) index. The BRIC for was built with 49 indicators, from different sources at district level. Our results determined not distributed homogeneously throughout highest are concentrated central macro-zone. In comparison, extreme zones focus close 90% their...

A sample 1,136 university students completed a web survey after Chile's first wave infections. Results: results indicate low only influenced Conversely, primary motivating factor for adopting in...
Chile is a country with high exposure to earthquakes and tsunamis. However, cities present different levels of community preparedness. Understanding the decision-making process for adopting preparedness measures essential motivating participation while considering local needs each city. Considering Protective Action Decision Model (PADM) understand preparedness, this study explores role risk perception, awareness, trust in authorities two coastal Chile. A sample 1093 inhabitants cities,...

This work presents subsurface characterization strategy applied to address carbon-neutrality challenges key projects transition, such production enhanced...
Social vulnerability and resilience are critical factors for disaster risk management. Despite the significant progress in research on both concepts, only some studies have explored empirical relationship between them. The community social to natural disasters Chile was studied using geospatial analysis. We used Vulnerability Index (SoVI) Community Resilience (BRIC) measures. Our results indicate that: related but not opposite within a continuum, (II) Rather than being randomly distributed,...
