Atlas developed in collaboration with MINVU (Ministry of Housing and Urbanism) and IADB (Inter-american Development Bank) visualising the risks that informal settlements face in Chile.

A methodology was developed to calculate a risk index integrating various risks and datasets for policy and decision making. It includes 3d visualisations in selected towns across the Chilean regions highlighting the physical and geographical features, the informal settlements geolocation and spatial conditions as well as their associated risks. The risks represented include landslides, fires, anthropic, riverine and coastal flooding and earthquake evacuation routes.

Based on the 2021 census, there are 1114 settlements, with 722 of them under risk. This atlas features 40 maps highlighting communes with the highest number of threatened informal settlements.
