The experiences of the earthquakes that shook central and northern Chile on February 27, 2010 and April 1, 2014 respectively, and the great fire that affected Valparaiso on April 12, 2014, reveal serious shortcomings in terms of disaster preparedness and training. Specifically, the low quality of em...

Specifically, the low quality of emergency dwellings reflects the poor legislative aspects that operate within the context of socio-natural disasters or social vulnerability. This paper analyzes the statutes and regulations intended to cope with emergency situations and address the quality of housing. The resrach concluded that there is no legal regime that ensures the provision of decent housing; this being a task subject to economic guidelines such as a preocupation on pricing. Ensuring the provision of quality housing and procedures aimed at coping with disasters and the establishment of proper settlements and emergency camps demands a planning process, regulations and implementation in order to avoid improvisation. There are other regulations such as those related to emergency evacuation; however, they have been proven partially operative. It is hoped that the enactment of the Civil Protection Act provides an effective instrument for the incorporation of emergency housing. Tras la experiencia de los terremotos, 27F, 2010, 1 de abril 2014 en el norte grande e incendio del 12 de abril en Valparaíso, se evidencian, una vez más, carencias graves en la preparación y capacitación del país frente a desastres. Específicamente, la baja calidad de las viviendas de emergencia obedece a aspectos legislativos deficitarios que operan en el momento de su entrega por parte del Estado en situaciones de desastres socio-naturales o de vulnerabilidad social. En este apartado se analizan los cuerpos legales y normativos conducentes a responder frente a la emergencia, y en cuanto a la calidad de las viviendas entregadas. Se concluye que no existe un régimen legal que comprometa calidad bajo criterios mínimos de habitabilidad, quedando ello, sólo supeditado a instrucciones de orden económico, como fijación de precios. El aseguramiento de calidad de la vivienda, así como procedimientos frente a desastres para la habilitación de aldeas o campamentos que aseguren condiciones mínimas, requiere de planificación, reglamentación e implementación para evitar improvisaciones. A pesar de estar disponibles otras normativas tales como la evacuación en emergencias, ellas no han resultado suficientemente operativas. Se espera que la promulgación de la ley de protección civil resulte un instrumento más efectivo que incorpore a las viviendas de emergencia.
