Security Concerns Spread After Earthquake in Chile

Around two million people were affected on Saturday morning by Chile's 8.8 magnitude earthquake. The are 708 known deaths with 500,000 homes with considerable damage. The victims of the earthquake have been looting grocery stores for supplies. Others have just been taking advantage of the disaster and have been looting at other stores for electronics. The government has made deals local grocery stores to help the real victims out. They are trying to control the extra looting by issuing a curfew for 9pm to 6am.
I think that the Chilean government has done the right thing by paying the grocery stores to give out all the supplies they have. This will sustain the people for a little while but they need to get supplies to them and I think that they are doing a good job with this. I think that the Chilean government is doing a good job getting aid to their people but not a good job controlling the people taking advantage of them.
