Strong aftershock hits Chile as troops deploy to damaged areas

Residents of Concepcion, one of the worst hit areas in Chile after last Saturday's earthquake, have finally begun to receive food and water. Local media also report that electricity has been restored, at least partially, in the area. President Michelle Bachelet extended a strict curfew to noon yesterday and thousands of troops remain in the region. According to the Associated Press, soldiers can be seen on nearly every corner of the damaged city.

Meanwhile, a 6.1 magnitude aftershock hit central Chile late last night. In the capital, Santiago, authorities have identified buildings at risk of collapse in nine different municipalities and have ordered some evacuations, according to the newspaper El Mercurio.

We go to Santiago, where earlier today we spoke with FSRN reporter Daniel Hernandez. He's also a contributor to the Los Angeles Times. He began by describing his visit yesterday to the outer areas of the city, home to many of the capital's poorer communities.
