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.

Humongous Tsunami Devours Building instantly - Never before seen footage
Never before seen Tsunami footage showing how one wave devours an office building in an instant.
This is the type of footage I have been looking for. This video was taken after a huge earthquake struck Japan in March of 2011. Japan Tsunami.
I want to thanks the owner for letting me share this with others on YouTube.

Incredible Japan Tsunami 2011 Footage, UNBELIEVABLE FOOTAGE!!!
This video shows the panic of some people trying to outrun the tsunami that hit Japan. You can see in the video the horrific force of the tsunami as it hits and how fast the tsunami was. People trying to climb a hill to get away from the waves, while others are trying to help. The video also shows the courage of other people that ran back down the hill to try and save some people, only to be swept away themselves.
Despite their efforts, the speed of the rising water engulfs the person they are trying to save -- and one of the rescuers appears to disappear. The man in the red jacket can be seen through the trees.
