Chile has been decimated by earthquakes before. In fact, the most powerful earthquake ever recorded was a 9.5 in 1960 in close proximity to the epicenter of Saturday’s quake.
1. Valdivia Earthquake (1960) It was the strong earthquake ever measured. The earthquake struck on the date of May 22 in the afternoon at the time of 19:11 GMT,
Between 2010 and , Chile experienced 30 natural disasters that reached the threshold of 10 deaths, 100 persons affected, or a national/local declaration of emergency or calamity. During this
Problem, research strategy and findings: The 8.8 magnitude earthquake and subsequent tsunami that struck southcentral Chile on February 27, 2010, affected 75% of the country's population and damaged or destroyed 370,000 housing units (about 10% of the housing in six regions). Within six months, the Ministry of Housing and Urban
Chile experiences earthquakes often and some can be extremely strong. One was the most powerful ever recorded, as estimated by the USGS—the M9.5 Valdivia earthquake of May 1960. Two decades before that catastrophic event, on January 24, 1939, another powerful earthquake struck the country’s richest agricultural region, Nuble Province, about
At 3:34 a.m. local time on Saturday, February 27, 2010, a great earthquake of magnitude (M) 8.8 struck the south central region of Chile. The earthquake occurred on the interface between the Nazca and the South American plates, with a rupture zone extending over an area approximately 500 km long and 100 km wide.
The Condominio Alto Rio, a highrise apartment building in Concepcion, Chile, collapsed as a result of the magnitude 8.8 earthquake on Feb. 27, 2010. The building, one of the damaged structures detailed in a new database within the NIST Disaster and Failure Studies Data Repository, broke from its foundation, toppled over and split in half
In July 2010, in an effort to reduce future catastrophic natural disaster losses for California, the American Red Cross coordinated and sent a delegation of 20 multidisciplinary experts on earthquake response and recovery to Chile. The primary goal was to understand how the Chilean society and relevant organizations responded to the
2.3 Maule (Chile) tsunami 2010. The Mw 8.8 Chilean Maule 2010 earthquake and tsunami occurred on February 27th, 2010, at 03:34 a.m. local time ( Fig. 2 ). The earthquake induced collateral damages; building collapses, failure of engineering infrastructure, liquefaction, fire, massive landslides, followed immediately by a power

The magnitude 9.5 Chilean earthquake in 1960 was the largest earthquake ever instrumentally recorded. The series of earthquakes that followed ravaged southern Chile and produced one of the longest ruptures ever reported. Sinking of the ground due to the earthquake, known as subsidence, produced local flooding in Chile.
According to modern calculations, this Great Chile Earthquake of May 22, 1960 had a moment magnitude of 9.5, which makes it the largest earthquake ever recorded, bigger even than the Great
This study of disaster recovery in Chile is one of a series of 10 case studies of places that have suffered major earthquake related disasters in the recent past. The performance and effectiveness of the strategies and solutions in Chile are compared with those in these other places (Platt S, So E, Speed or deliberation a comparison of post
The economic recovery is fully under way, helped by appropriate policy responses to the two large adverse shocks—the earthquake and last year’s recession. In early 2010 the Chilean economy was poised for a strong recovery. But on February 27, 2010 the country suffered a massive earthquake.
Between 2010 and , Chile experienced 30 natural disasters that reached the threshold of 10 deaths, 100 persons affected, or a national/local declaration of emergency or calamity. During this
