As you might have seen in the news, Japan was hit hard by an earthquake of magnitude 8.9 on March 11 (JST) followed by a massive Tsunami causing widespread devastation killing thousands of people and injuring many more beyond belief. Soon after the earthquake, concerns were shown over nuclear facilities in Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear complex, as if the destruction by earthquake and tsunami wasn’t enough for Nature. Many organisations, individuals, etc across the globe are reacting to this calamity and doing their bit by donating for those affected in this natural disaster. Google, a search engine, has been quick to react and set up a crisis center for 2011 Japanese Earthquake and Tsunami. Using Google Person Finder tool below you can search for any person in the earthquake affected areas or give information about any person.

You can also help them by donating money to Japanese Red Cross Society, it won’t hurt to spare few bucks out of your income (or from pocket money). Google has put up a donation button on it’s Japan Crisis page and the same can be used to donate any amount to Japanese Red Cross society, this is the safest way to send money considering the fact that it is being run by Google itself.
