The whole day was long. start to get news, but the problem is the areas from which there is no news.
A preliminary and superficial assessment many rural areas of the interior have not been much damage. Some areas are isolated due to landslides, but it seems that despite the severity of the earthquake (8.8 Richter) damages are much lower than we might expect. A major reason is that the movement was undulating.
Many of the houses are built of wood and then, albeit with some problems have resisted. It seems pin that many buildings have suffered structural damage hidden. In some cases Eho noticed collapses and a new pegigoramento clear the situation after some replicas (replicas occur several times a day to several days).

One of the biggest problems is instead generated by the tsunami, or rather like tsunami wave struck the coast. In many places, people, mindful of the earthquake of 1960 did not make the event info to the Navy, designed to assure that there would be no tidal wave or tsunami, and invited her to stay home. Have taken refuge in the hills, so they saved the skin.
wave damage is very variable. It was not a big wave, some speak of a meter or a meter or two, but in many cases is rising along the rivers for a long time, contaminating fresh water sources with saltwater.
NGO Coordination: tomorrow (March 2) should be made a first meeting between the NGOs to coordinate and design a joint action, but is not easy, since many are absent and the major NGOs operating in the most affected areas are also in critical condition. For now, they left a few convoys of cars to deliver aid in the worst affected areas. wave damage is very variable.

The rescue organization is in this difficult time. One of the factors that complicate the situation is the privatization of almost all services, with consequent absence of a structure that can activate its status individually. The
esrcito has not seen it yet, but some think it is better that way. is circulating some concern for the proclamation of the 'estado de Excepcion' that more than a state of emergency is similar to a suspension of civil rights and delivery areas of the military command, which is seen in these parts with historical concern.
We were surprised how fast they are widespread rioting and looting. The first event occurred at Concepción about 24 hours after the quake. Frankly, it seems too short a time because the triggers are a real and widespread need. It is currently difficult to analyze this phenomenon, perhaps a sign of social tensions already at the limit or, perhaps, other factors or interests that should be analyzed in greater depth.
It 'hard to get information to what is real news of assaults to homes private or generated widespread fear. The emulation and the continued spread of news about attacked and looting may have encouraged this phenomenon, both by those who act that those who are afraid of suffering. On Sunday morning, this was one of the top stories passed on the news and appeals of citizens to control the territory multiplied.
Mapuche
The news I have first-hand are organizations with which they are in contact, which relate to areas where there are Mapuche communities. It will take several days before the information is reliable and detailed sifficientemente. E 'planned to do a census delal situation.
Lafkenche Mapuche communities living near the coast, but in many cases the homes are located at the top, so the damage was limited, so to speak, to the loss of fishing vessels. The news coming from certain
:
Mehuin ( google map indicating location, not the exact location) where communities have lost almost all the boats but there were no other significant damage, apart from the seat community that was located near the sea.

By the way this area is an area with high environmental risk due to plans to build a 'conduit' for the disposal of waste deep in water theoretically derived from the manufacture of cellulose. The area is already severely compromised by extensive acolitvazione of eucalyptus and pine and environmental problems related to installation of facilities for lavoraizone cellulose.
from areas where we are working: Coñaripe, Valle del Maichin (Currarehue) and five year (Lonquimay) comes reassuring news, even if fragmented. It seems that the damage is low, although in cases Motl soo landslides occurred on roads.
For now I greet you. Good night (Almost good morning to you!)
