03/01/10 – “On behalf of the City and County of San Francisco, I would like to express our deepest sorrow for the terrible loss of life and devastation caused by the recent earthquake in Chile.

San Franciscans have a deep understanding of the devastation caused by earthquakes and we stand ready to assist the people of Chile. Anyone wishing to contribute to relief efforts can do so by visiting the American Red Cross at: http://www.redcross.org/

Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Chile during this difficult time.”
