“You can also check in via cell phone number– each of the major Japanese cell networks has a simple disaster board that can check to see if they’ve left any messages with their respective network’s message board, whether it’s NTT DoCoMo, SoftBank, or KDDI AU.”

Want to donate money or volunteer?

==================================

Unless you are a trained emergency responder, have extensive medical, engineering or logistics experience in post-disaster zones, and are *already* affiliated with an emergency response agency (plus have been fully vetted AND speak *some* Japanese), DO NOT attempt to go to Japan to help.

Your intentions are good, but you will get in the way and actually *impede* help efforts. Donate money (not “stuff”) instead.
