The earthquake that devastated communities across the country Jan. 13, killing more than 700 people and rendering over 700,000 homeless, did surprisingly little damage to the infrastructure of roads and bridges. Relief has been slow to reach rural areas and food shortages have been reported, but travel around the country should be possible once the immediate crisis has passed. Full recovery for hard hit areas, however, could take years.

The second major earthquake in a month struck Feb. 13, causing extensive damage in the central part of the country. More than a million people have lost their homes in the two quakes, and roads in rural areas throughout the country are likely to remain damaged for some time. Commercial flights in and out of El Salvador have resumed, but travel should be deferred until the crisis has passed.
