8.8 Earthquake Strikes Chile

 We are waking up to news of a devastating earthquake in Chile. The 8.8 quake or great earthquake struck Chile early Saturday setting off a tsunami that is threatening every nation around the Pacific Ocean.

 The American Red Cross has pledged an initial $50,000 from the

International Response Fund to assist communities impacted by today’s earthquake in Chile. 

We are working with the International Federation of Red Cross/Red Crescent to determine if and how the American Red Cross is responding.  We are prepared to take further action as local responders assess the situation.
