Chile Races to Deliver Aid, Combat looting

After the 8.8 magnitude earthquake in Chile authorities are trying to help the survivors and find people that may be trapped. This was the fifth largest earthquake since 1900. The defense minister blames the many of deaths on the navy for not reporting the rise in the ocean water. The quake hit the hardest in the southern and central part of the country. Not only has the tsunami and quake killed me and caused chaos but also looting has broke out and the health aid people are trying their hardest to prevent disease from spreading since no one has clean drinking water to consume.
I think that the government seems to be trying its hardest to recover order in the country. The looters have a good reason to try and find clean water and food but they shouldnt steal and should instead go to the health aid like everyone else. I also think that the navy did make a huge mistake when they saw the rise in the water and didnt report it. By doing this they could of saved many of lives.
