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
