Earthquake Aftermath Cleanup

I'm sure by now the whole world is aware of the terrible earthquake we had yesterday.

As soon as it is possible, I will be travelling to the worst affected areas to help in the clean-up operation.

As soon I get information on when these operations will begin, where needs volunteers the most, and what you can do to get involved, I will post it here.

  3. A lot of the things which were reportedly happening turns out to be not much more than rumours. Several local authorities have sent small groups of volunteers to hand out water etc, but because of logistical problems they have been very small groups, with places being filled up within hours of becoming available. Your best bet is to make a friend in your local city office and get them to keep you updated.

    When larger-scale things come around, I'll be sure to post. For now, there are several things you can do, as well as donating food, baby supplies and blankets. For example, we found a website dedicated to sending socks to the needy (there's apparently a massive shortage). You can read about that here: http://jasonkelly.com/helpjapan/
