Great East Japan Earthquake - our guide to the events of March 11th and what it means for Japan

[SnowJapan 178]

Guide to the Great East Japan Earthquake

 

Today marks 100 days since the earthquake on 11th March.

 

We thought that there was a real need to provide clear and honest information about what happened and how it has affected Japan - and how it might affect next snow season as well.

 

So we have put together a bit of a guide to it all which you can find here:

http://www.snowjapan.com/e/japan-tohoku-earthquake/index.html

There are 4 pages:

- the events of the day;

- radiation concerns;

- feedback from over 50 people living in different regions of Japan;

- links to other resources for more information.

 

We hope that you find it to be a good source of reliable information.

 

I would like to point out that we are very open to ideas on what could be added to the guide to improve it and we also welcome further comments and feedback from other people living around Japan - whether they are areas already covered or places not yet on the list. If you have feedback to go on that page, please use the form that we have linked to in that section. The more the better.

So we do plan to update this section as necessary.

 

Anyway, hope you think it fits the purpose and we would like to thank all of the people who took the time to contribute and the people who helped check through it in the last few days.

Thank you.
