The National Service for Disaster Prevention and Response (Spanish: Servicio Nacional de Prevención y Respuesta ante Desastres), often abbreviated as SENAPRED, is a Chilean public service responsible for advising, coordinating, organizing, planning, and supervising activities related to Disaster Risk Management in Chile. It was created by Law No. 21,364 in 2021 to replace the former National Emergency Office of the Ministry of the Interior (ONEMI), within the context of the reform of Chile's emergency management system.[1][2]
