Burma-Thailand earthquake: Casualties expected to rise - Rubio says U.S. willing to help
"Burma-Thailand earthquake: More than 150 dead, hundreds injured. A 7.7 magnitude earthquake rattled much of Southeast Asia on Friday, flattening skyscrapers and leaving more than 150 people dead from Burma to Thailand.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio posted about the potential U.S. response to the earthquake. "We've been in contact with these countries and, as @POTUS said, stand ready to provide assistance."
State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said despite the tumult at the U.S. Agency for International Development, the U.S. has maintained "a team of disaster experts with the capacity to respond if disaster strikes," which are commonly referred to as DART teams.
"These expert teams provide immediate assistance, including food and safe drinking water needed aftermath of a disaster. The United States is evaluating the need for assistance based on requests and dynamic reporting,” she said."
