Relief Efforts Ramp Up after Indonesian Quake

Relief efforts begin after Monday's 8.7-magnitude earthquake near the Indonesian coast. The quake has killed an estimated 1,000 people, with the most damage on the island of Nias. Because of the tsunami disaster in December, aid groups are in place to provide quicker cleanup and relief efforts.
