The magnitude 8.9 earthquake that hit Japan last night has done a vast amount of damage. I’m seeing lots of information scattered around the web, and figured a post listing them might help.<\/p>

First, if you need info about the quake, CNET has a long list of links<\/a> for finding lost loved ones, information on the quake in general, and more.<\/p>

Second, our own Discover Magazine has an excellent article with the science behind what happened<\/a>. The article notes that science and engineering prevented this disaster from being a lot<\/em> worse. <\/p>

There are many charitable, non-profit organizations that may or will be providing aid and relief. I asked on Twitter which ones people liked, and here are a few. I do not necessarily endorse these groups, but provide this for your information. <\/p>

Oxfam<\/a>
The Red Cross<\/a> has info, and also a page where you can contribute directly to quake relief<\/a>
Médecins Sans Frontières<\/a> (Doctors Without Borders)
Red Cross through WePay<\/a>
Global Giving<\/a>
ShelterBox<\/a> <\/p>

Before you donate, please watch this video of the tsunami crashing through Japan<\/a>:<\/p>

Yes, those are buildings on fire as they are being swept ...<\/em><\/p>
