CONCEPCION, Chile — The U.S. Embassy in Chile says it is working to locate between 700 and 1,200 American citizens believed to be in that country's earthquake zone.

Embassy press attache Paul Watzlavick says the embassy activated its phone warden network, which is based on a registry of U.S. citizens in Chile. Thirty Americans have been located so far in the quake area, and there is no word of deaths of injuries.
