Order & civility - we have a lot to learn from the Japanese people. Some of us act like animals in a crisis.
Looting, rape, murder, and thug activity in general. Day 4 and we haven't heard one episode on the news of any of it in Japan. They wait patiently in lines. When supplies run out, they expect it and try their luck at another place. They're more afraid they they've ever been in their lives. Family members are missing or dead. Devastation beyond belief. The unknown is crippling, and yet...order and civility. We have so much to learn from the Japanese people.

Japan PM: Radiation leaking from damaged plant
Kan urges people within 30 kilometers of Fukushima Dai-ichi to stay indoors
I dare say that is definitely a "significant" risk to human health....
Michelle- I am certain I would not be so dignified in their situation.......remarkable really....

I hope Bryan Adams' idea for a concert for Japan comes to life Joe.
These people need all the help they can get. The news is not getting better at all. The people are a model to all. We've heard of Aussie tourists who were in a hotel in Tokyo and didn't know what to do when the quake hit. Total strangers deferred going home to their own families so that they could take the tourists to the right train station to try to get to the airport. Amazing.

Tell AT&T and Verizon to stop delaying donations to Japan
As Japan struggles to overcome a disastrous string of events -- including a possible nuclear catastrophe -- millions of us have sought to help, often by donating money to urgent relief efforts.
But if you donate via text message, your donations may take up to 90 days to reach aid organizations that need the money as soon as possible.
Even though they're getting large amounts of free media attention for their text-to-donate programs, companies like AT&T and Verizon have chosen not to release the donation money right away. Many customers assume that they're sending funds straight to disaster zones in the crucial days after the earthquake, but donations are transferred after the end of your next billing cycle, a process that can take up to three months.
Masaya Uchino, a law student in San Francisco with family in Japan, started a petition on Change.org to demand that AT&T, Verizon, and other major phone service providers stop delaying much needed donations from reaching organizations doing relief work in Japan. Please add your name to the petition now:
Stop the delay
After the earthquake in Haiti, Change.org members and others asked phone companies to provide donations immediately -- and the phone companies came through. But so far they've refused to take the same step, and it's up to us to join Masaya in speaking out.
Thanks for taking action,
- Weldon and the Change.org team

To repeat Joe's post -
You can help Japan deal with earthquake/tsunami by donating through The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) ... Joe
