ONEMI or National Office of Emergency of the Interior Ministry ({{langx|es|Oficina Nacional de Emergencia del Ministerio del Interior}}) was a Chilean government agency dedicated to the prevention, organization, coordination and information relative to natural disasters. After the 1960 Valdivia earthquake a committee was formed to solve problems caused by the earthquake. However, this committee was not dissolved afterwards and in 1974, it acquired by law independent status as governmental office.

Other state funded agencies and services that cooperate with ONEMI are CONAF in terms related to forests and wildlife and OVDAS in monitoring volcanoes.

On 1 January 2023, it legally ceased to exist and was replaced by the current National Service for Disaster Prevention and Response (Senapred), as specified in Law No. 21,364.{{cite web|access-date=2023-01-05|author=Biblioteca del Congreso Nacional|author-link=Biblioteca del Congreso Nacional de Chile|language=es|title=Ley 21.364 - establece el Sistema Nacional de Prevención y Respuesta ante Desastres, sustituye la Oficina Nacional de Emergencia por el Servicio Nacional de Prevención y Respuesta ante Desastres, y adecúa normas que indica|url=https://www.bcn.cl/leychile|website=www.bcn.cl/leychile}}{{cite web|access-date=2023-01-05|author=Ministerio del Interior y Seguridad Pública|author-link=Ministerio del Interior y Seguridad Pública (Chile)|language=es|title=A Partir De Hoy Onemi Pasa A Ser El Servicio Nacional De Prevención Y Respuesta Ante Desastres (Senapred)|url=https://www.gob.cl/noticias/partir-de-hoy-onemi-pasa-ser-el-servicio-nacional-de-prevencion-y-respuesta-ante-desastres-senapred/|website=gob.cl}}
