that could be needed. the welfare program of the un. but as of now, we re dealing with this tragedy with our own resources, with the calm and with good coordination. but we have to evaluate this. the material damages are very, very considerable. and the images that we re looking at right now really demonstrate the road damage, how so many highways and roads are simply impassable. does this mean you ll have to rely on great air support in order to get to those in greatest need? exactly. air sporupport, for sure. and that s the way we have been mobilizing. the authorities have to coordinate this action. do you think you have enough of that? yes. i think we have enough. but we ll have to evaluate as the situation evolves. for example, what happens with schools? the school year begins in on monday. had is the end of the summer in chile. southern hemisphere summer. the schools will probably be
