Posted on 14 Apr 2016 22:30 in ASKSiddhiのひとりごと by Yoko Deshmukh

I will try to pick up and store all essential information for whomever experiencing earthquake and aftershocks in Kumamoto and Kyushu area occurred on 14th April.



*Disaster Survival Manual; English, Korean, Chinese and Japanese versions available

On 14th April at 21:26, a massive earthquake with intensity 7 hit Kumamoto, south-west Japan, which was the maximum intensity on the scale. Aftershocks still continue, and my heart goes to the people who are badly affected and who have family and loved ones in the region.

On this page, I will try to save the information I have found apparently essential at this point of the time (22:35 IST) for people who are affected and who have family in the area. Please share and also suggest me if you know any other information available in multiple languages.
