On May 2, 2008, Chile experienced the eruption of Chaitén volcano, located in the city of Chaitén, Los Lagos Region. The volcanoeruption and the overflow of a river destroyed the city and public actions for the evacuation and subsequent return of local people disrupted social systems and daily relationships at public and private level. This generatedcollapses within work and family structures and changes in the relationship between the State and citizens. Through the use of qualitative strategies, the paper analyzes the Chaitén case by focusing on the experience and significance of such a disaster on the impact at territorial identity level, including the evaluation of public policies and the collective actions of risk confrontation generated by the inhabitants themselves. Los desastres socionaturales, al irrumpir en un territorio, dejan en evidencia diferentes vulnerabilidades y riesgos presentes en las poblaciones afectadas; por ende el manejo que se haga de estas situaciones, a nivel de política pública, impacta directamente en la percepción de riesgo y en la significación misma de la vivencia por parte de quienes la experimentan. El 02 de mayo de 2008 Chile vivió la erupción del volcán Chaitén, ubicado en la ciudad de Chaitén, Región de Los Lagos. La erupción del volcán y el desborde de un río de la zona destruyeron la ciudad, y las acciones públicas para la evacuación y posterior retorno de la población desarticularon, tanto en lo público como en lo privado, los sistemas sociales y vínculos cotidianos, generando rupturas en las estructuras de trabajo y familiares y cambios de las relaciones del Estado con los ciudadanos. En este marco, a través de estrategias cualitativas, se analiza el caso de Chaitén, haciendo énfasis en la vivencia y significación del desastre, en el impacto a nivel de identidad territorial, en la evaluación de las políticas públicas, y en las acciones colectivas de enfrentamiento del riesgo generadas por sus habitantes.
