Thank you Kreigh! and List,
  Your information is very serious and reads danger ahead since neither the Chiba nor Tokyo faults have released their gained tensions yet.

  If you get word of warning of pending rupture of the Chiba and Tokyo Faults please do let me know. I will do the same if anything is announced by the Japanese government or scientists.

I have posted this so that persons living in Japan can read. Many here do not have communications with the embassy in the event of emergency, so I am posting this online as many tourist are checking the local internet.

  Anyone that needs help please consult my site for information, telephone numbers and contact info for embassy and emergency services. Thank you all.

Friends in California, Alaska, Hawaii please also consider taking moderate pro-active action just in case.

Best for All... Dirk Ross...Tokyo
