Very graphic illustration of how things stand. Definitely don't like the look of it. Would rather be in a non-yellow zone...

Touching reflection by a Japanese native about the earthquake

Nice to know many people are thinking reflectively about this event just like we are.

When the tsunami warning sirens sounded, the quick-thinking teacher knew he only had eight minutes to act. Thankfully, he hustled and was able to guide his class to safety on top of a nearby hill.

A site maintained by a nuclear researcher in Japan providing data about the current state of Reactors in Fukushima and some limited analysis, including some comments on the recent assignment of INES levels. "I have just created this blog to show some relevant information about the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant 1 (#FNPP1) accident and its consequences for the environment. Since I won't be writing anything close to a "blog" with "successive updates", I've decided to put the information on separate pages instead of posts. This site doesn't intend to provide a comprehensive analysis, nor data, but to add my bit showing some useful information that I haven't found elsewhere. So far you'll find: The evolution of #FNPP1 reactors main parameters (water level, pressure, temperature, etc.) Some thoughts on #FNPP1 INES level 7 uprating by NISA [4/12] The evolution of the radioactivity in Ibaraki prefecture (between Tokyo and Fukushima) and Tokyo since the accident. Tohoku EPCO's efforts to recover electricity supply to households lost after repeated large quakes."

Branham spoke to CNN about his experiences, shared the shocking photos and videos he captured of the disaster, and the happy ending to his amazing love story.

Dr Ross Stein's  explanation of the different tectonic plate movements under Japan and how they work. Click on the audio file for this explanation.

Great inspiration for a student project as a creative expression piece.

Project we're starting at YIS to support school fundraising efforts - we're looking for student-authored stories (or other creative expression) to be shared in this wiki, then a selection will be published as a book, with proceeds to go to Tohoku.

Perfect example for teaching students and parents critical literacy & media bias - tons of examples of incorrect/biased reporting with links.

People living at the top of the hill observed the warning inscribed on the stone monument that was built at the place 60 meters above the sea level after the Showa Sanriku Tsunami in 1933
