Anyone still looking for ways to keep on top of important information coming out of Japan about the March 11 earthquake and tsunami now has a central hub to consult, in the shape of a dedicated page from the Google Crisis Response project.
The resources listed include the Person Finder we've seen before, links to the latest information from the domestic utilities, such as Tokyo Electric (TEPCO), government agencies, and a comprehensive list of transit providers.
Many of those are pre-formatted to serve up Japanese pages in machine-translated English, but there's also a full ranzge of information for native speakers of Japanese.
Likely the most useful among these are the missing persons phone lines for the various parts of Tohoku affected by the twin disasters, while there are also continuously updating scanned photos of the resident lists in the various shelters for people displaced from their homes.
Lastly, this being a service from one of the web's heaviest hitters, there are also real time updates from Google News and Twitter.

Amid the horrific stories of death and destruction surrounding the March 11 earthquake and tsunami in the Tohoku region, there's still room for the occasional wry smile, such as the one surely engendered by the news of 240 refugees taking shelter in, of all places, a nuclear power plant.
The group of men, women and children from Onagawa in Miyagi Prefecture has been holed up in the plant since the tsunami hit, seemingly killing over 1,000 of the town's 10,000 population.
The irony of the nature of their refuge clearly isn't lost on the temporary residents, as the nuclear accident at Fukushima Daiichi power plant 120 kilometers away plays out daily on their televisions.
The electricity to power the sets, incidentally, comes direct from the regional power grid to which the Onagawa plant is attached. The facility is run by Tohoku Electric Power, a separate entity from Tokyo Electric Power, or TEPCO, the operator in charge of Fukushima.
As the group shelters in the employee gym, right next door to the reactors, the good fortune of the survivors is clear.
One man, sheltering with his family said: It's pretty spread out. People are just kind of lying around and relaxing. There are a lot of aftershocks, but it's safe.
Meanwhile, an older woman settled on a more prosaic object of gratitude: It's very clean inside. We have electricity and nice toilets.

JAPAN Part 6 Hiroshima Peace Park & Gardens
Music from the YouTube Library - Dramatic Swarm', 'Resolution', 'Please' & 'Ferris Wheel'
Thanks to Typhoon Lan, we were delayed by nearly 24 hours and stuck overnight on our express train. But at least we were able to continue the following day!
First stop, and an essential visit when in Hiroshima is the Memorial Peace Park and museum. It's a sobering experience and upsetting when you view some of the artifacts in the museum. The horrors of war! However, hopefully it goes someway to promote World peace.
Later, we visit the beautiful Shukukei-en gardens and Hiroshima's magnificent castle, a bit of a whistle stop tour due to our unavoidable delays.
Then, it's off by rail to the ferry terminal for the short trip to Miyajima Island. We arrive early evening and this place, as we discover the following day, is paradise!

Visiting Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, Hiroshima city, Japan
We visited Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum in June 2019. We all got a very emotional experience seeing how horrible the A-bomb devastation was. After barely surviving the disaster of the atomic bombing, people faced various types of hardships and sufferings. They had to go on with their lives bearing the deep sorrow of losing their beloved ones and suffering physical and emotional traumas and illnesses.
Chúng tôi đã đến thăm Bảo tàng Tưởng niệm Hòa bình Hiroshima vào tháng 6 năm 2019. Tất cả chúng tôi rất xúc động khi thấy sự tàn phá khủng khiếp của bom nguyên tử. Sống sót sau thảm họa bom nguyên tử, người dân phải đối mặt với đầy rẫy những khó khăn và đau khổ. Họ phải tiếp tục với cuộc sống mang nỗi buồn sâu thẳm khi mất đi người mình thân yêu và chịu đựng những tổn thương về thể xác và tinh thần.
