Today I'm going to express my opinion like a geography student about the tragedy in the Chilean North.
All we know that a couple of days ago the Chilean North was attacked by the most catastrophic rain occurred in 50 years. If you don't know, the Chilean North has the most arid weather in the world so, the fact that rained 30mm of water in two days in a zone when normally rains 3.5mm means that all the ground was removed.
People in Copiapo , doesn't know how terrible can it be an event of this size, that is why they do not evacuated early.
The critical situation produced for the weather was disturbing , because the authorities of Copiapo’s district , have any idea of how deal with this problem.
A couple of hours latter, we knew about an alert envoy by ONEMI which, in English means “National Emergency Agency “ , which is the agency in charge of send an alert to all the authorities in case of natural emergence.
This agency envoy this alert to authorities, who doesn’t responded, causing a disaster in the zone.
People was trapped by the avalanche , which included water, mud, debris, and a lot of things that was carried away for the ground removed.
Obviously , the authorities didn’t act at the right time, and people died and disappeared for that. They also lost their homes.
I think that the Chilean State is not ready for being a State, because a really State, truly cares for its people, and act to time to preserve they integrity. And as we saw here, the Chilean politicians just want money and the doesn’t care about the heath of Chilean people. I think they just care buy new cars, and big houses in the top of a mountain for being away of our problems, and we need to do something to change this politic situation.
