Chile’s President Michelle Bachelet says above 2 million buildings, including 500,000 homes, were spoiled in Saturday’s shocking earthquake. President Bachelet said on Tuesday it is not possible to know at this time which buildings can be remake & which should be pointed.

Ms. Bachelet too said she didn’t have a correct death toll from the earthquake, but is receiving updates each 2 to 3 hours.  The death toll now stands at around 720. Secretary Clinton said the U.S. is ready to help Chile well it can.  She brought with her disaster communications equipment & technical hold up.

Earlier Tuesday, President Bachelet said that raiding & lawlessness will not be tolerated.  She has instructed troops to act with what she called the “severity” necessary to avoid crime. The president has already sent minimum of 10,000 soldiers to cities affected by the earthquake to restore order.
