Chile is one of the most seismic countries worldwide. Despite this, it does not have a proper relief policy to overcome the stressful consequences that an earthquake has over the affected families. It also does not take into account how to react in the different climatic scenarios that Chile presents.

This study addresses the design of post disaster housing to be applied in different climatic contexts of Chile. In the north, represented by Antofagasta, and in the south represented by Punta Arenas.
