The New York Times: Chile more prepared for earthquake than Haiti, expert says

UB professor Andre Filiatrault, director of MCEER, is quoted in an article in The New York Times about a destructive 8.8-magnitude earthquake that struck Chile on Saturday. Chile is no stranger to earthquakes, he said, and established strict building codes in 1985, shortly after a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck the country. The article appeared in numerous outlets, including the San Francisco Chronicle and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Filiatrault also is quoted in a UPI article about the earthquake.
