***We encourage those who are within the Tsunami warning and watch areas
tuned to their local emergency response authorities. ***
Update:
Technology volunteers outside of the effected area (Canada, India, New Zealand, Switzerland and the United States) are monitoring events in the Pacific Rim.
Currently a CrisisCamp Asia Pacific Public Skype Chat has been established for monitoring and a wiki page devoted to the collection of media links, data feeds and publicly available datasets.
A volunteer sign up has been established for monitoring or other actions upon the request of local authorities or humanitarian relief agencies.
At this time CrisisCommons has not received a request for support. We will continue to monitor and post resources which may be shared via the CrisisCommons Wiki.

Please contact me about interviewing Heather Blanchard, or someone from your group regarding your involvement with international crises such as this. Even if you are not contacted to assist Japan, it would be a good opportunity to promote what you all do for similar situations, and how you have helped Haiti, etc. We would like to do the interview sometime on Tuesday, March 15th. This would be for “NewsPlus with Mark Segraves” on DC50.
