Prepare for the blackouts
- Use flush lights not candles. Candles might cause fire.
- Stay informed. This blackouts are PLANNED and only last for three hours. Lights will comeback.
- Plug off electrics before you leave. Some electrics, such as hair drier and hotpots are prone to create sparks when the power supply is back and be a fire hazard.
- Secure food and water in advance. In some area, water supply will be intermitted as well. Prepare meals and water before hand.
- Stay warm. In some buildings heats are also provided by electricity. Put extra layer.
- Don't open your fridge. Most of the fridge and freezer in Japan are well insulated. If you don't open the door, it will stay cool for three hours.
Conserve energy
- Every kWh you don’t use will help getting steady supply of electricity not only your area, but also the areas severely affected by the earthquake.
- There are lives you can save by keeping heat low and plug of unused electrics, especially during a time between 18:00-17:00http://japanearthquakeinformation.blogspot.com/

False Rumor of Chiba Prefecture Cosmo Oil Explosion
On twitter and through many emails, there has been a false rumor going around that an oil explosion has caused poisonous rain to fall in Chiba Prefecture.
Cosmo Oil, in conjunction with Chiba Prefecture, has published an official statement.
"In Regards to Emails About the Chiba Oil Factory"
Cosmo Oil
Corporate Communication Dept, PR Room
Today, it seems that emails titled "Cosmo Oil Secondary Disaster Prevention Information" were sent out randomly to many people. The information contained included: "the poisonous substance released in the Cosmo Oil explosion has adhered to the clouds and will pour in Chiba as rain."
However, this is not true. The tank in question was filled with LP gas, which despite flowing into the atomosphere as a result of the explosion will have little effect on the human body.
We sincerely apologize to the residents of Chiba, as well as all those related, for any trouble and/or worry this has caused.

PTSD Child Care
Post‐Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a severe anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to any event that results in psychological trauma. While many adults are also affected by this, children who have experienced a big earthquake are very likely to struggle with this. Common symptoms include: Re-experiencing, Avoidance, and Hyperarousal.
You can find various information about PTSD online, so I'll focus on how you can help your children here.
Make children feel secure and relieved
- do not leave them alone
- eat and play together
- hug them and hold their hands
- tell them that it is normal to feel sadness, anger, anxiety
- to those who blame themselves, tell them "it is not your fault"
- say "I'll protect you" and "We are safe/okay" instead of "Do your best" or "Be patient"
- talk about pleasant memories
- do not scold them even if they behave badly
Discuss what they are confused about
- ask what they are actually anxious about, with what they are struggling
- do not generalize or dodge the problem
- answer confidently, even if they repeat the same question over and over
Accept their feelings calmly and sincerely
- when they talk, get down to the same height as them, look them in the eyes, make brief responses while listening, and never interrupt them
- do not force them to talk if they don't want to
Provide opportunities for them to play and act
- at their own pace, let them communicate with friends through sports or play
- let them express freely by drawing, singing, and writing
- the feeling of helping others makes them feel good, so let them help you with easy things
If adults show their anxiety, children's symptoms may get worse or cause them to try to hide their anxiety and stress. In cases of disasters like this, however, it is often impossible for adults to be totally calm; adult anxiety is also normal.
So, please do not push yourself too hard. Please ask for help; often others will be helped by helping you. Talk to other adults, counselors, friends, or other parents in the same shelter or area. Incorporate and take turns with them in caring for the children.
The most important thing is to listen to children sincerely, and have fun with them. Talk about your favorite movie, food, memory, and smile together.
Even during the hardest times, do not forget to smile, to have hope, and to appreciate that you are alive.

日本人の方へ
日本にいるみんなが、無事で、少しでも安心して過ごせることを祈っています。
でも、心配して祈っているだけじゃ何も始まらないので、自分にできることから始めることにしました。
ニュージーランドで被災した日本人学生の家族が歯がゆい思いをしたように、在日外国人の家族は日本語の速報も読めず、辛い時を過ごしていると思います。また、殆どの地震の心得や速報は日本語でしか出ておらず、どうしたらいいか分からず困っている外国人の方もたくさんいるはずです。
そんな人たちのために、外国語の情報を集めたブログを作っています。

または短縮URL http://bit.ly/earthquakeEng
もし、知り合いに外国人の方がいたら教えてあげてください。普段は日本語を流ちょうに話す人でも、災害の非難情報などは難しい場合があります。
もし、道端で心細そうな外国人の方を見たら、話しかけてあげてください。英語を話すことが出来なくても、このブログを見せてあげてください。
言語の通じない国に旅行をするだけでも大変なのに、こんな大災害にあってしまったときの精神的苦痛は相当なものでしょう。被害の大きくない関西にいたって、地震に慣れていない外国人にとっては想像を絶する恐怖に違いありません。喋れなくたって、あなたの笑顔一つだけで大分楽になると思うのです。
私一人の力では出来ることにも限りがあります。
役立つウェブサイトや、このブログに載せるべき情報などありましたらコメント・メールでご連絡ください。
日本人留学生の皆様へ
今回の日本の地震は海外で暮らす皆様にとって大変ショックだったことだと思います。
家族のもとに飛んで行って傍にいたい、出来るだけ沢山の人の手助けになりたいと思っても、海外からでは何もできない歯痒さ。
特に、被害の酷かった地域の出身の方の辛さを考えると、胸が締め付けられます。
でも、海の向こうで心配しているだけでは何も始まりません。
それなら、まずはここから出来ることから始めませんか。
学校の日本人学生、日本語学部などに協力してもらって募金活動を始めましょう。
テーブルを設置して呼びかけるだけで、かなりの額が集まると思います。
Mixiにて「海外からもできること」というコミュニティーがあります。
http://mixi.jp/view_community.pl?id=5524657
どの様に募金活動を計画するかのアドバイスや、各国でのボランティア・募金活動などの意見交換に役立てたいと思います。
ぜひご参加ください。
もし、自分には計画は無理だと思うのなら、メールを送りましょう。
学校のpresident/chancellorに、Japanese Deptに、International Student Officeに、
日本は募金を必要としている・ここで募金が出来る、という情報を学校の関係者に知らせてもらいましょう。
http://japanearthquakeinformation.blogspot.com/2011/03/uw-madison-how-can-you-help-japan.html
私のつたない文章ではありますが、このページにAmerican Red Crossとその他の団体への募金方法を書いています。
その部分をコピペしても、このページを直接送ってくれても結構です。
この呼びかけ一つで、大きな助けになります。
募金先について
募金先としては、USの団体は知名度もあり、また米国所得税の控除対象になるのですが、
ただ彼らへの寄付は必ずしも日本に回るわけではありません。
ARCは「日本のため」と特定して寄付できるのですが、それでも日本赤十字に送金されるわけではなく、
ARCによる活動のみをカバーし、それを超したぶんは他所の災害援助に回ると明記しています。
日本語がわからなく、また日本への送金手段を持たないアメリカ人にはARCが無難だと思うのですが、
我々を通じて日本赤十字社へ寄付できれば、彼らの寄付先の選択の幅を広げることになると思います。
インターネットを見ても上記のようなconcernは見受けられるので、日本への送金に対する需要はあると考えられます。
もし出来るのでしたら、日本赤十字などの団体への送金の方が役に立つと思います。
こちらのウェブサイトが募金の行き先・使われ方などをわかりやすく説明しています。

About Japan Tsunami Relief (JTR)
As you already know, a terrible earthquake hit Japan on March 11. The M9.0 earthquake triggered many other earthquakes, tsunami, and a potential nuclear meltdown. The aftershock tremors continue to force the tired and scared people of Japan to take shelter. Japan will need a lot of money to provide sufficient food/medicine/blankets for refugees ,and to rebuild houses/roads/all the things destroyed by the disaster.
As Japanese in the US and people who loves the country, members of the Japan Tsunami Relief (JTR) are very frustrated not being able to run to help our loved ones. However, we believe there is something we can do from here in Madison.
For at least the coming several weeks and possibly longer, we will be organizing many fundraising events. A dollar or the change in your pocket can make people in Japan smile. Even if it is difficult for you to donate money, please come to our events to say hi to us. We would love to thank you for your caring.
