SENDAI, Japan (March 12, 2011) An SH-60B helicopter assigned to the Chargers of Helicopter Antisubmarine Squadron (HS) 14 from Naval Air Facility Atsugi flies over the city of Sendai to deliver more than 1,500 pounds of food to survivors of an 8.9 magnitude earthquake and a tsunami. The citizens of Ebina City, Japan, donated the food, and HS-14 is supporting earthquake and tsunami relief operations in Japan as directed. (U.S. Navy photo/Released)

SnowJapan.com has been one of the leading online resources for information on skiing & snowboarding all over Japan for over a decade. Like a lot of us in the ski and snowboard industry here, they've fielded lots of questions concerning the implications of the disasters on the ski hills here.  In response, they've put together an online  “guide” providing “clear, balanced & honest information on the subject”.

Anyhow, Its full of interesting links & resources & worth taking a look at, so thought i`d pass it on here. Be sure to check out the local accounts of the disasters & the section on radiation data.
