Al examinar las páginas de este libro, que aborda una temática que sin duda representa un ícono de la historia valdiviana y del sur de Chile, nos encontramos con un relato sencillo, directo y tremendamente didáctico de lo que fue este hecho que marcó un antes y un después en la historia de los fenómenos naturales a nivel nacional y mundial. En efecto, a nivel local hablar del Terremoto de 1960 —el más grande registrado, cuya magnitud se aproxima al límite superior de lo que el planeta probablemente jamás pueda generar en un solo evento— es casi sinónimo de Valdivia, independiente de la extensa área geográfica que fue afectada. El autor trasluce una evidente pasión al analizar el tema, una pasión que se acompaña junto a un compromiso que van disimulados consciente o inconscientemente a través de un lenguaje y minuciosidad científica al alcance y comprensión de cualquier lector. También expone sugerentes conclusiones, evidenciando la deficiente preparación que ante este tipo de eventos aún existe en nuestro país, apuntando que ‘una cultura sísmica desarrollada y adecuada se obtiene cuando se logra discriminar entre rumores infundados e información científicamente fundamentada’, entre otros aspectos prolijamente detallados en el contenido de la obra.

This phenomenon mainly affected the central Chile area which comprises of the regions of Araucanía, Bio-Bio, Maule, General O´Higgins, Valparaíso and Metropolitan. At that date it was the fifth largest earthquake ever to have occurred on a worldwide scale. The book is organized in six chapters written by remarkable authors from different disciplines thus presenting a comprehensive view of the occurrence. The texts come from the fields of geophysics, hydro-mechanical engineering, telecommunication, geographic information systems, urban and design planning, building engineering, architecture and urbanism. Authors come from academia and the public and private sectors to give an idea of complementary approaches that range from theoretical descriptions to practice and emergency solutions. It will be suitable for professionals and researchers taking decisions, undergraduate and postgraduate students and teachers at university levels.

This two-volume encyclopedia provides the science behind such heart-pumping geophysical hazards as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, cyclones, and floods, as well as authoritative entries on notable natural disasters around the world and the agencies that help those they impact. Natural Hazards and Disasters explores the sometimes harsh effects of nature on human life. The set discusses the physical science behind specific types of hazards and disasters (such as blizzards and tsunamis), their impact on our lives, how damage is mitigated or prevented, recovery and reconstruction, and the current research and technology used for managing or even eliminating the hazards. Written by experts in the field, the set also explores a variety of extreme events from around the world, including the 2010–2011 Christchurch Earthquakes (New Zealand), the 2017–2018 Thomas Fire (United States), and the 2018 Kerala Floods (India). Also covered are the world's major international and nonprofit aid agencies, like the Salvation Army and Oxfam, that assist disaster victims.

At 6:02 on the morning of May 21, 1960, one of the greatest earthquakes of recorded history struck the long narrow land of Chile. This earthquake devastated a wide area in the vicinity of the town of Concepción in the central part of the country. Disturbances continued throughout the day. In the afternoon of the following day in an area several hundred miles farther south, two earthquakes occurred half a minute apart; the first centered in the island of Chiloé and the second--one of the most severe ever recorded--occurred in the vicinity of Valdivia. At the same time, a tsunami, or tidal wave, developed off the coast. In Chile it wrought its greatest damage in Puerto Saavedra, Corral, Ancud, and Castro. It moved across the Pacific, extending as far as the Arctic and Indian Oceans and causing extensive damage in such farflung places as California, Hawaii, and Japan. In Chile in the days that followed, fires, floods, landslides, and the threat of erupting volcanoes added to the desolation and suffering. The land settled or split in great fissures. Wide areas were flooded by heavy downpours or by waters that swept in from the sea or from the overflowing lakes. Large landslides occurred, mainly in the lake districts in the provinces of Cautín, Valdiva, Osorno, and Llanquihue. Earthquakes, although none as severe as those of May 21 and 22, continued for many months.--Page 1.
