Tomorrow I’m going down to Concepcion with the media team. We’re traveling with an assessment team that will be deciding the best way to utilize supplies and volunteers in the worst hit areas of Chile.
Today there was a 6.9 replica (aftershock) in Concepcion. The Chilean military has also been deployed there to respond to reports of looting in the city. And the broken roads are still a challenge for anyone traveling cross-country. Sounds like a recipe for adventure.

I’m actually really interested to see how this earthquake will compare to Haiti’s. Though it was larger, Chile was better prepared to endure and respond to the disaster. Better building codes mean less damage. And a better government infrastructure means a faster response. But no matter how “ready” a country, an earthquake will leave things – and people – shattered.
Still…. I saw how God is moving in Haiti. He will move here as well. He goes ahead
