All our solidarity and affection are with our brothers and sisters in Haiti and Chile: we join the campaign that seeks to mitigate the effects of those two huge natural catastrophes. There are several channels to send aid and messages such as the [Red Cross->http://www.redcross.org/en/]  , [Doctors Without Borders->http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/] , the [World Food Program->http://www.wfp.org/] , [Caritas->http://caritas.org ] and [Unicef->http://www.unicef.org/] . We recommend that you contact the embassy of Chile and Haiti in their respective countries.

The Chilean Town that Organized Itself to Avoid Chaos

The situation in Curicó is tragic, yet its population responded immediately to the emergency. Its inhabitants set up offices at the town square, managed aid, and created a radio to locate people. The town square is the seat of citizen assemblies, standing in contrast with sleeping stores and walled up streets. In the face of disaster, the population got together to meet the unexpected challenge.
