Japanese earthquake info
* The Red Cross has set up a donation page specifically for Japan. USians can text REDCROSS to 90999 to donate $10. Canadians can do the same by texting REDCROSS to 30333. It can take a while for texted donations to process, though, so donate directly through the website if you can.
* CNET has a long list of online resources for finding people and tracking the tsunami.
* Al Jazeera continues to rock the good reporting. They're also covering events live and live blogging here.
* Great Tohoku Earthquake - Info, news and live updates, mostly for English speakers inside Japan.
* George Takei is doing a lot of tweeting about the earthquake - I'm getting most of my disaster relief info from him.
* The NHK and Japan Times Online both have ongoing coverage.
* All Things Nuclear has an analysis of the Nuclear Crisis at Fukushima.

* There're rumbling's going around about the Red Cross's treatment of queer folk, which I'm taking with a grain of salt (no references, googling doesn't turn up much, the Red Cross/Red Crescent societies are individual by country, etc). If you're looking for a RC alternative, though, Doctors Without Borders/Medecins sans Frontieres is an excellent organization.
eta 3:
* Gizmodo (I know, but it's a guest blogger) reminds us that Japan hasn't actually asked for outside help yet (aside from some search and rescue teams, I think) and they money we're donating now isn't actually going to Japan. Except for Doctors Without Borders. Maybe.
