-The main activity of the Capacity Building WG has been to support exchange of information , shared resources and processes, relationships and skills among different people within each organization. -The GEO Secretariat has helped by establishing a bi-weekly Telecon.-We also populate the IEEE-Earth Best Practices Wiki to clarify and/or identify AIP-CB issues:http://wiki.ieee-earth.org/Best_Practices/GEOSS_Transverse_Areas/Capacity_building

-Participated to the GEOSS GeoCAB portal.

AIP-7 GEOSS Chile Capacity BuildingChile has been actively involved in the GEOSS Activity, lead by Luciano Parodi and, within this AIP disaster scenario, by me.

Chile answered a CfP for AIP7 in order to:1-develop testing disasters scenarios and products that allow experts in Chile to strengthen their knowledge and resilience.

2- develop testing disasters scenarios that allow international experts to support Chile during a disaster event. Leverage of national and international resources.

The goal is to contribute to develop interoperable geospatial application to help manage disasters in Chile.

AIP-7 GEOSS Chile Capacity Building-We develop three different testing disaster scenarios: one in Talcahuano, another in Iquique and a third one in Copahue.

Talcahuano: Stricken by a magnitude 8.8 earthquake and tsunami on 27 February 2010. Death toll of 500 and economic damages for $30 billion .

Iquique: Stricken by an 8.2 magnitude quake on April 1, 2014, however the fault only partially ruptured.

Copahue: Volcanic activity caused on May 28, 2013 the evacuation of ca 3,000 residents. Further activity in October, 2014.
