No reports yet on extent of damage, looks like most impact are in areas remote from the capital. Hopefully in the next few hours we'll have an inkling of the impact, and whether a relief operation will go into effect.
We also need to keep ears open for possible tsunami across the pacific. In contrast to Haiti, OSM already has some good starts in Chile.
