Summary: |
Potentially catastrophic natural events (such as the major earthquakes
affecting the Chilean territory from time to time) and international
economic crises share one characteristic: they are both exogenous events
for a small open economy. In both cases, the vulnerability of the socioeconomic
system is largely determined by preventive measures and the
level of emergency preparedness. These activities reach high levels of public
interest and support immediately following a major event, but this tends
to weaken as the event recedes in time. For the Chilean case, the hypothesis
that recurrence of potentially disastrous events strengthens preventive
measures and preparedness, thereby reducing system vulnerability, is
confirmed. Nevertheless, vulnerability may vary greatly depending, to a
considerable degree, on structural heterogeneity. |
