Ecuador Earthquake 2016: LIST OF MISSING EXPATS / TOURISTS

LATINAMERICACURRENTEVENTS.COM / ECUADOR EMERGENCY FACEBOOK PAGE /

This list is primarily for members of Ecuador Emergency. We are posting names of individuals living or visiting in Ecuador. We are attempting to locate them and verify if they are ok and if there are any immediate needs. Feel free to add names and edit as you see fit. If you need to contact an admin of the group – contact: Nicholas Crowder, Jack Abercrombie , Russ Reina A Firetender or Susan Schlesinger.

Our first priority is to make sure members of Ecuador Emergency who live in the affected areas are located and found safe. If they are still compromised, we will do our best to coordinate communications and assistance. Secondarily, we offer ourselves as a conduit for people here in Ecuador to connect with people in North America. If you are a person named here or know of the status of that person, please let us know their status. Also if you know of other expats who are not members feel free to list there name and hopefully we can determine their status.

Disclaimer: The admins of Ecuador Emergency are not responsible in any manner for the accuracy of any information in this file. This is a fluid situation and information is posted as is and for emergency purposes.
