The article analyzes the contexts and specificities of post-disaster social work intervention based on the testimonies of social workers who participated in the recovery and normalization processes after the earthquakes of 1985, 2010, and 2015 in Chile. The neoliberal context has influence in the social intervention. As neoliberalism deepens, there is more technology and better access to material resources, but at the same time, professional autonomy and community knowledge decrease. Research suggests there is a need for further critical discussion about how social work has been colonized by neoliberalism, even in seemingly neutral issues such as post-disaster intervention.

本文基于参与 1985 年、2010 年和 2015 年智利地震后恢复和正常化过程的社会工作者的证词，分析了灾后社会工作干预的背景和特殊性。新自由主义背景对社会干预有影响。随着新自由主义的深入，技术越来越多，物质资源的获取也越来越好，但与此同时，专业自主权和社区知识也在减少。研究表明，有必要进一步批判性地讨论社会工作如何被新自由主义殖民，即使是在看似中立的问题上，例如灾后干预。
