How much is known about tsunamis in the Valparaíso region?

First Report on Characterization of Public Expenditure in RDM
How many resources does Chile allocate to disaster risk management? is one of the questions that the first Public Expenditure Report for Integrated Disaster Risk Management (GIRD) carried out in Chile by the Institute for Disaster Resilience (Itrend) attempts to answer. Less than 1% of the national budget is allocated to finance programs that deal with disaster risk management and the main mechanism to respond to emergencies is budget reallocation. While highlighting positive aspects, the study highlights the lack of a robust governance structure for resource management in this area, and the need for a comprehensive budget design that systematically addresses the challenge of resilience.
