Natural disasters

Japan has been hit really hard recently.  The news is pretty scary (well, what I can understand of it).  There was a typhoon in the south/west this past Tuesday and then there was a serious earthquake in the north today.

I'm glad I have my emergency bag packed.  But, honestly, I'm not that worried about my own safety.  I'm more concerned about all the scary natural disasters and how to help.  I'm just sort of stumped right now. 

It's confusing times.
