Abstract
Earthquakes in the Netherlands are a relatively new phenomenon. Since just a few decades there have been earthquakes induced by gas extraction in the region of Groningen. This inexperience and the financial benefits of the gas field are two of the main causes why decision-making on this matter is difficult. Chile however, has a long history with earthquakes and the authorities therefore have a long experience on how to prepare and to deal with earthquakes. This research looks whether there are lessons to be learnt by the Netherlands from the Chilean method that can be used to improve the resilience against earthquakes, with help of the Adaptive Capacity Wheel. From the comparison it appears that The Netherlands can learn from in Chile in different aspects, for example information provision, construction standards and the acceptation of huge task that lies before the Dutch authorities.
