Yes, I do know Chillan, Cobquecura, Buchupureo, Dichato, and pretty much the southern part of the area affected (My mother, brother and grandparents live in Chillan).
I think that we can make a list of cities and towns around the epicentre and start mapping from the centre to the more remote ones. There are plenty of small town right near to the epicentre, most of them affected by the tsunami (the ones right by the sea) and many more inland with infraestructure problems. I am organizing some training sessions for people with knowledge from the most affected areas but living in Santiago. The idea is that they learn to use Potlatch to add all that stuff that can not be added from the aerial imagery, i.e.: Street names, hospitals, schools, police stations, supermarkets, convenience stores, etc. to OpenStreetMap. I will keep you informed on the progress of this.
