After the devastating earthquake that struck off the coast of Japan, our thoughts and hearts go out to those affected and those whose loved ones were as well.
The damage has left communications down in many parts of the country. The CLAIR office in Tokyo has been partly evacuated for the time being.
The New York office of CLAIR/Japan Local Government Center is working in coordination with local governments to gather information about the situation of JETs in affected regions of Japan.
Anyone concerned about a Canadian in Japan can find more information at the website of the Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs. They have a list of phone numbers and online methods of getting information.
