The big earthquake

My experience that night was a little strange, because I was in a party at a friend's house, with my friends and my boyfriend. We were on a second floor. Just when the earthquake began, we stood at the front door, and waited for the earthquake to stop. We were very frightened, but every one kept calm. Then, we went downstairs, and stayed at the parking place. In that moment, we sarted to help people to get off their apartments, and turned on the radio, to get some information. A few minutes later, my dad came, and we went to my grandmother's house. That nigth, I almost didn't sleep.

The next day, we tried to call our family, but the cellphones didn't work in about four days. also, the shops were full of people who took anything they found.

The following days, I took some clothes and shoes to the University federation, for the people who had lost their houses and stuffs. Also, I worked in a recolection site receiving food, clothes and everything useful to people in the south. After all this disaster, I think that our country hasn't good comunication sistems, like alternative roads, or something like that. I think it's because of the centralization: we don't worry about the far places, only about Santiago and places around.

The positive side, I think it is that people who lost their relatives and houses, were very brave to stand up, and keep going with their lives, although they need a lot of help.

Now, we have to continue helping, by different ways, for example going to turistic places, to help people have their jobs and can go back to normal again.
