It's quiet(er) in the earth today. The tremors are not as frequent nor as strong. Since 01:11 this morning there have only been 20 earthquakes (#20 at 10:41am) with the strongest being about magnitude 4 at the epicenter.
I decided that I really need to do something regarding helping the victims of the earthquake/tsunami. But what?
Kyoko showed me the Google Crisis Response Page that has access to a lot of important bits of information such as alarm and warning, disaster message boards, a person finder, shelter info, blackout info, flight and train info and more. You can access this site at http://goo.gl/saigai and select English in the upper right corner if it doesn't automatically go to the language of yor presence.
On the page is a Google Checkout spot that allows people to make donations to the Japanese Red Cross. So I did.
I hope it makes a little difference.
I love you.

Having trouble accessing that http address Cam, from Google Chrome AND Firefox... is the spelling correct? Will try again in the morning.
ReplyDeleteOK I fixed the link. I had typed mm instead of // with my thumbs on my cell phone. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteThank you Cam! :)
ReplyDeleteDone, Cam. :)
ReplyDeleteJust to point out to anyone who goes over to donate - the site looks like it's specifying one of two monetary amounts you can donate - either 50,000 yen or 100 yen. But you can put in whatever amount you want... me and Shane have sent 8,000 yen, which is just about $98.
You DO need a Google email account. I haven't used mine in over three years - can't believe I remembered my password first time, lol! Only takes a minute to register if you don't already have one. ;)
Shane's already put a link to this on his blog - I'm about to do the same.
Stay safe Cam. *Hugs*
Thanks guys.Just to clarify Mousie's point, the minimum is 100 yen (about a dollar) and the max is 50,000 (about 500 dollars).
ReplyDeleteMore earthquakes making the building rock a bit.
I am mailing my cheque to the Red Cross tomorrow morning, they are going to need every penny they can get !!
