In Chile, thousands of people evacuated as volcano Calbuco erupted for the third time in two weeks.
The volcano continues sending plumes of ash stretching more than 1,000 miles into the sky. Thousands of flights have been disrupted and over 6,000 people have been evacuated.
Meanwhile, Operation Blessing is on the ground clearing ash from roofs to prevent them from collapsing under the heavy substance.
In addition, teams are bringing in fresh drinking water for those in the impacted area, and providing meals for approximately 200 families daily.
They're also distributing facial masks to help those working in the ash breathe easier.
