Abstract
dc.description.abstract
This paper describes how the inhabitants of Llico, a small fishing town
in Chile, organized to move from the coastline to avoid a tsunami that devastated
their homes and livelihoods and then to manage immediate responses. It then
describes how long it took for state support to arrive and how the inhabitants
were marginalized from planning and implementing the reconstruction processes.
As a result, this poorly served their needs and priorities and failed to utilize their
knowledge and organizational capacities. Here and elsewhere in Chile, postcatastrophe
reconstruction processes miss the opportunity to improve living
conditions for the affected communities and to develop policies for disaster
management that incorporate and use their social capital.
