Hello All.
I've started this group to provide a central location where we can
1. provide information about the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan.
2. get information about the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan.
3. and assist those harmed by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan.
Feel free to send me a message through the group if you want to join. I will need help to keep it going, updated in a timely manner and still have time enough to post my own diaries.
Regarding information: as the quake damaged some number of nuclear plants, any diaries providing useful info regarding is welcome. This group has no position per se for or against Japan's nuclear energy program.
Regarding assist: There are many groups providing assistance to the stricken areas and Japan in general. I will try to get something together and post it tonight.
This is a Mother Ship Diary for all things quake/tsunami related. I will ASAP post a partial list of relevant diaries here at the Kos that have been posted thus far. If you don't see one you think should be on it, kindly send me a message through the group board.
Here is a diary on where to donate
