Radiation levels in Japan

Once watching the NHK news this morning they mentioned a government website which states the radiation levels in all Japanese prefectures. It is updated twice daily or more.

Earthquakes, Tsunamis and Radiation

I left Tokyo one week before any of this madness occurred and I am fortunate I did. I feel sorry for all who have been affected by this tragedy and I regret that I could not help as much as I could normally. I just hope that things begin to return to normal soon and that the current threats are reduced to some degree of normality.

My old University is currently taking donations for the Red Cross to help the relief effort in Japan, please show Japan your generosity in this time of extreme hardship. They appreciate every cent. (see link below)

Even if you cannot donate please pray for the Japanese and that this will all end soon so that people can get on with their lives.

I love you Japan.
