Japan (Nuclear plant operations delayed because of Tsunami wall)
Chugoku Electric Power Co. will delay the start of operations at a new reactor under construction at its Shimane nuclear plant here due to inadequate defense against tsunami and equipment problems. $$$
United States (emergency services)
What’s not too early to ask, however, is how well the government is reacting to these disasters. Back in April, The New York Times sent a reporter down to Tuscaloosa, Alabama—a state where tornadoes have killed more than 250 people—and found that residents generally had upbeat things to say about the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), an agency that had been reviled for its bureaucratic bungling after Hurricane Katrina turned New Orleans into a fish tank. $$$
Lebanon-Israel (minor quake)
An earthquake with magnitude 3.2 on the Richter scale hit southern Lebanon on May 29, and was felt in the north of Israel around 22:20, the Geophysical Institute of Israel reported
Japan (government)
Prime Minister Naoto Kan survived a no-confidence motion Thursday over his response to Japan’s massive tsunami and ensuing nuclear crisis, but said he is willing to resign once the country’s recovery takes hold. $$$
Russia (volcanoes)
Klyuchevskaya Sopka (4750 m), the highest volcano on the Kamchatka Peninsula, has spewed ash to an altitude of 5 kilometers above the sea level. The nearby settlements are said to be out of danger. $$$
Philippines (Taal lake fishkill)
Taal Lake remains uncontaminated despite the tons of rotten fishes that were seen afloat recently, the Batangas local government said. Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs), on the other hand, clarified that the Taal Volcano’s activity has nothing to do with the incident. $$$
