ONEMI

What ONEMI does

SENAPRED (Servicio Nacional de Prevención y Respuesta ante Desastres), formerly ONEMI, is Chile's national disaster prevention and response agency operating under the Ministry of Interior. It coordinates government-wide disaster risk management across all Chilean regions and serves three primary constituencies: the general Chilean population (citizen preparedness), regional and communal governments (coordination and program implementation), and educational institutions (training via Academia del Senapred). The agency's portfolio is structured as a unified public platform rather than a commercial product suite, comprising citizen preparedness programs (Kit de Emergencia, Familia Preparada, Dimensión Animal), an interactive geospatial threat viewer (Visor Chile Preparado), evacuation plan resources (Planos de Evacuación), a digital disaster risk library (Biblio GRD), annual drill and SAE alert testing calendars (Simulacros, Pruebas SAE), and seasonal programs (Programa Invierno, Programa Precipitaciones Estivales Altiplánicas, Wildfire Strategy). Core technology assets include the geoespacial viewer, the Biblio GRD repository at bibliogrd.senapred.gob.cl, and the academy platform.

SENAPRED is funded entirely through Chilean national budget allocations from the Ministry of Interior and provides all services free of charge to citizens and subnational governments. There is no commercial pricing model, no external investors, and no private revenue stream. Distribution operates through a self-serve government website (senapred.cl) for citizen access, direct field coordination with regional intendencias and municipal offices for governmental counterparts, and the public transparency portal for institutional disclosure. Outreach is multi-channel: Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube, WhatsApp Channel, and Telegram provide top-of-funnel public safety communications and real-time emergency alerting.

In July 2026, SENAPRED invoked preventive emergency authority across 10 Chilean regions in response to a frontal system, suspending classes in 5 regions — evidence of active operational use of its statutory mandate. The agency has no disclosed AI/ML capabilities, no APIs or SDKs, and no mobile applications; its differentiation rests entirely on regulatory authority, institutional reach, and accumulated public trust rather than proprietary technology.
