Am I entitled to a compensation for this delayed flight with United Airline?

Introduction

Recently, I flew from Vancouver BC (YVR) to Santiago Chile (SCL). Due to hurricane Harvey, I've been rerouted and arrived at Santiago, Chile 25 hours later than expected.

I asked at YVR whether one could ask for a compensation for such delay but they told me that they could not give me any information about it.

I have now phoned United Airline (mainly for a unrelated reason) and asked them about compensation and again they told me they could not say wether I could receive compensation and they told me that one must go to the airport or online to ask for a compensation but it cannot be done by phone! I forgot to ask for the URL and I failed to find a claim form for a compensation on the United Airline website.

Question

I realize that a natural disaster has caused the delay and that United Airline could hardly offer a better alternative. Am I still entitled to a compensation?
