POLICE is also being sent... for those who read Spanish,

This is SO far what your neighbors to the south have sent... SO FAR

A hospital ship, leaving today.

100 Police for I am guessing patrol duty, and I am not kidding
70 to protect the Embassy

!0 water purification plants

3 planes full of supplies

70 rescue personnel and more on the way

Rescue dogs

2. Yeah but it is not just the US

We have a population of 300+ million, yep we can get that much money fast.

This is a world wide response and it is humbling. This is so well coordinated it is not even funny.
