What happened in Chile was devastating but it is nice to see that our State Department was able to preform quickly and efficiently in a crisis. These situations remind us how important and necessary The State Department is to show goodwill towards other countries.

Santiago, Chile (CNN) -- Three strong earthquakes rocked Chile on Thursday morning, just as the country was swearing in a new president.
A 6.9-magnitude earthquake hit at 11:39 a.m. local time (9:39 a.m. ET), followed by a 6.7-magnitude quake 16 minutes later, the U.S. Geological Survey reported. A third, measured at magnitude 6.0, came 27 minutes later.
The epicenter was about 95 miles (152 km) south-southwest of the capital, Santiago, and about 90 miles (145 km) away from Valparaiso, where Pinera was to be inaugurated. Television footage showed the inauguration proceeding without a hitch.
...
A second earthquake -- with an initial magnitude of 6.9 -- struck moments later. It was about 89 miles (143 km) southwest of Santiago, the USGS said. The third was about 86 miles (138 km) southwest of Santiago.

@ Angela,
Best "nuts and bolts" briefing I've ever read in many years of staying tuned to DoS daily briefings via email subscription, never mind this blog format.
It seems folks went by the book, and training payed off in your immediate response.
On another note,
People in Chile have found at least one hero that deserves public recognition. MSNBC covered the story of this 12 year old girl who gave warning to her village of the coming tsunami, rang the bell and no lives were lost because of her quick instictive thinking.
I'm wondering if any Americans were spared because of her bravery?
Maybe a visit to the Whitehouse is in order, if that's the case.

Angela, an excellent blog describing the many facets of Foreign Service work during a crisis situation, and our commitment to both American citizens and our hosts wherever we are. I was confident that you would respond in the level-headed manner you did! Thanks for writing this.

Hi,Cultural Affairs Officer Angela Emerson..:)
I hope things are getting better in Santiago, Chile and in other parts of the country.
I liked your report on the events of the day and days following the earthquake. It's good to hear everyone at the embassy was quick to react to this emergency. It's nice that you were able to reunite the Grantees and their Family Members. I'm sure they we're very worry about their relitives.
It's also good to,know Hillary's visit went so well, considering the circumstances. I hope they get the vital equipment an support they need from everyone.
See ya..Angela...:)
