Situation In Northern Chile / Situacion En El Norte De Chile
AUI would like to express its deep concern and sympathy for the families affected by the storms and landslides in northern Chile over the past days. Our thoughts go to the people who have lost loved ones or suffered material losses.
The ALMA Observatory received substantial snowfall, but all its staff is well and its infrastructure and equipment are unharmed. Normal operations should resume shortly.
Many ALMA employees reside or have relatives in the II, III and IV regions. We understand that their families are safe. Some staff members have experienced delays travelling back home at the end of their shifts; we hope that they are able to join their families soon.
