As most of you should have heard by now Japan was hit by the biggest earthquake in its history yesterday, which then caused a tsunami to add to the destruction. I would like to take a moment and let all of you know that the tsunami has not affected us here in Australia, and I don't believe it will. In fact, Adsy is down at the beach as I write this filming guys surfing in the water.
Being in the Pacific where now two major earthquakes have hit, Japan and Christchurch NZ, I cannot help but be a little worried that this is only the beginning. Not to get all 2012 on you guys, but I think we all need to take a moment and remember those emergency procedures that we learned in primary school. Get under the table, stand in a doorway, etc. You never know where the next big one is going to hit!
I also learned today that Google has come up with a new "person finder" application that helps users report missing people as well as enter information about someone in disasters such as Japan's earthquake. With all of the natural disasters the world has been facing, I think this could be a really useful tool.
My thoughts go out to all of those people in Japan. I hope the rescue teams get in there quick to help anyone who may be trapped. Peace and love to everyone.
