Chile’s earthquake was several magnitudes bigger than Haiti’s, yet it is very significant to note that this country will be back on its feet QUICKER and has been devastated less ( in terms of human lives and building destruction ) than Haiti.

There are lots of lessons to learn from this tragedy which occured a mere month apart.

Chile is divided into two worlds. There is almost no real poverty in the country but much of the south outside of the main cities is rural poor. Almost everyone outside the cities can grow enough to eat even if they may live in a “shack”. You drop a seed and it grows.

The eastern part of Sanitago is very 1st world. In the La Dehesa section of the city the average 3 bedroom home single family home sells for about $325,000 USD and the office towers and apartment blocks could be in any major city in the world.
