Preparation needed??!


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 --- On Sat, 3/12/11, Kreigh
