<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"><DIV>BBC World News online had posted a UK phone number for finding people in Japan: check their website. Judging from past history, foreign civilians trying to come here to "help" will be turned back at the airport.<BR>Domestic phone service is still largely out, altho a call came thru from London on my landline here in Kansai, which is undamaged. Shocks of up to 5 continue at the moment in the NE, but evacuation & relief work is highly organized, and some transpo is running. It may take a few days to contact your friends from abroad. I still cannot reach Tokyo on either cell or landline, but e-mail seems OK.</DIV>

<DIV>A friend posted a notice on on Facebook about Google Finder, localized for this earthquake. .It seems to be accessible in Japanese at <A href="http://japan.person-finder.appspot.com/?lang=ja" rel=nofollow target=_blank>http://japan.person-finder.appspot.com/?lang=ja</A>. (And of course in English.)</DIV>
