Hello fellow mappers,

Early this morning, a large 8.8 earthquake and resulting tsunami
struck Chile. Hundreds of people have already died, and relief efforts
are now underway. We are now sharing Map Maker data for Chile its raw
form through the data download program: http://mapmaker.google.com/datadownload

We also continue to make Map Maker data immediately available through
the Google Maps API and this Mapplet:
http://maps.google.com/maps/mpl?moduleurl=http://www.google.com/mapmaker/mapfiles/s/mapplet.xml

If you have any local knowledge of Chile, please help us in improving
the maps of this region. It will assist relief workers in saving
lives. For more information on the earthquake, resources and ways to
donate, see: http://www.google.com/relief/chileearthquake/

Hi Ali,

Here is the KML showing all the earthquakes in the region:
http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?t=h&ie=UTF8&msa=0&output=kml&msid=110238672560887056622.000480c638b51426013be

You can add it to Map Maker using the "Overlay" tool. These are the
areas that were worst hit by the earthquake, so we should focus our
mapping efforts around here. You can also see a map of this KML here:

thanks for helping!
