Yuri, I hope your article earns lots of money. It's very kind of you to donate the profits to relief efforts. My daughter was in Japan very recently and just missed this earthquake. My sister narrowly escaped the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami that devastated Indonesia.

The video footage and survivor's stories are heartbreaking. It's good to hear Japan is so well prepared and that people, including young children, are trained in emergency response. I'm sure these preparations have saved many lives.
