Onemi and SHOA, the chilean agencies responsible for alerting the population in a disaster, were "very well" evaluated on their reaction after the 8.4 Richter earthquake and tsunami that occurred on September 16 in northern Chile.

This was revealed by the latest survey carried out by Radio Cooperativa, Imaginacción and Universidad Central on the reaction of the authorities in the largest magnitude earthquake in 2015.

70.4 percent of respondents felt that the performance of the National Emergency Office (ONEMI) was "very good", while 82.3 percent noted positively the act of the Hydrographic and Oceanographic Service of the Navy (SHOA).

The poll also looked at the performance of President Michelle Bachelet and her government after the earthquake. Thus, 45.3 percent felt that their reaction was "good to very good". 32.1 percent called it "regular".
