Chile Forum

We are working with hotel and hostel owners in the area to compile a list of foreigners they have at their hostel, or that have left if they know where they have gone.

o.k. michel, we are still trying.

The U.S. consulate is suppose to have people on the ground in concepcion, near the university, but we have as yet to encounter any american citizen that has been contacted by them directly anywhere in Chile.

I have received an e-mail from my father in Chillán today. Apparently, communications there have only been partially restored - anyone else with a relative or friend in that are may be able to contact them via e-mail already.

I am still missing relatives.

Original post:

Hello...Looking for a couple of Chilean citizens (aunts and uncles of mine). Names: Martina Canales Orellana and Jorge Canales Orellana both reside in a very small and rural town called Portesuelo. Domingo Canales Orellana resides in Coihueco. Any information about the damage to these towns or about these specific individuals would be greatly appreciated.

Please, we are looking for a list of people:

These ones were in PICHILEMU:

UPDATE: all these 4 people are SAFE
Joseph Stoffers (USA)
Isis Skarra-Pergler (USA)
Colin Mcnany (USA)
Gavin Comstock (USA)


These ones in CONCEPCION:
Cody Cook (USA)
Viola Hansen (Denmark)


This one from SANTIAGO:
Juan Luis Vidal Martinez (Chile)


And from RANCAGUA:

Any news would be great, the families are very worried, tanks a lot.
This list has been communicated by the US embassy and the family can be contacted undirectly.
