Abstract
Chile’s earthquake on February 27 relaunched the discussion on the role of the ICT in emergency situations. Precise and timely information becomes a valuable resource during any catastrophe, and prior experience has given rise to the development of Information Management Models. Based on those models this article seeks to analyze the behavior of four relevant elements: Internet, mobile telephones, data centers, and the use of the web as a tool for obtaining basic public information. It is important to mention that the analysis of these components has not been easy due to the high degree of secretism with regard to the information and the fact that there are no standards that require –or at least allow– expeditious access to it.
