Any one searching for information about the earthquake or tsunami in Japan will see static links providing information about the response to the natural disasters. Google has made it easy to report a missing person or information about a missing person.
This is similar to Google's efforts after the earthquake in the Christchurch area of New Zealand, Google's Japanese Quake Person Finder allows users to share when they have received information that a missing person is alive or to create a record for a new missing person. There are currently about 6,100 records.
Statement By The President On The Earthquake In Japan And The Resulting Tsunami Warning Throughout The Pacific:

Obama: The United States stands ready to help the Japanese people in this time of great trial. Obama: I have instructed FEMA to be ready to assist Hawaii and the rest of the US states and territories that could be affected. /BNO News.

Earthquakes of this size are known to generate tsunamis potentially dangerouse to coasts outside the source region. The West Coast/Alaska Tsunami Warning Center is investigating the event to determine the level of danger. More information will be issued as it becomes available.
