We talked earlier this week that Google has launched an online tool called "Person Finder: 2011 Japan Earthquake" in order to help families get news of their relatives or to provide information about of a person. Google has added several languages including Japanese, English, Korean, Chinese, Taiwanese, Brazilian and Spanish.
"The site clean-japan.person finder.appspot.com, there are two proposals for the question" what is your situation. " Or "I want someone" or "I have information about someone," the aim being to collect and provide information on persons residing in Japan and whose whereabouts are unknown, or request News of a person.
Google offers us an update of its satellite images in Google Maps of Japan, in partnership with GeoEye to view the latest available data from the most affected areas.
You can also view hi-res download this KML file, if you've installed Google Earth on your PC, or explore the Google Earth online. And to understand the extent of damage, go to the Picasa album with satellite images before and after.
