Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami Relief

As the response to the earthquake and tsunami in Japan moves into its second week, about 430,000 people are staying in approximately 2,500 government operated shelters. The American Red Cross has contributed an initial $10 million to its main partner in the country - the Japanese Red Cross - to help with medical and relief activities. You can help by going to redcross.org and donating to Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami. Or you can make a $10 donation by texting REDCROSS to 90999.
