Japan (International team studies Tohoku tsunami)
Survey teams try to enter tsunami-stricken areas as soon as possible after rescue and recovery work to document physical evidence of tsunami flow characteristics—such as debris in trees, high-water stains on buildings, and sedimentary deposits—before it is degraded or destroyed by natural forces or cleanup activities. Japanese researchers began this process during the second week after the earthquake; as the situation in Japan improved, they invited scientists from the international tsunami-research community to assist with gathering data from the large area affected by the tsunami. $$$
Japan (Philippines medical team)
Three months after the deadly March 11 magnitude-9.0 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, the country gave the Philippines a clearance to send a 14-day medical mission to help the victims. According to the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), the team will include three medical doctors from the Department of Health (DOH). $$$
Japan (probable end of Nuclear misery)
The operator of Japan’s Fukushima nuclear plant moved closer to ending its radiation crisis on Monday with the start of a system to cool damaged reactors that could also help avoid dumping highly contaminated water into the Pacific Ocean. The move was hailed as “a giant step forward” by Goshi Hosono, an adviser to Prime Minister Naoto Kan. $$$
France (Apocalypse evacuees …)
Many of those convinced the world will end next year, based on an interpretation of ancient Mayan texts, are fleeing to Bugarach in the Pyrenees believing it will be spared Armageddon.Apocalypse devotees dressed in white are now a familiar sight in this picturesque village, drawn here by various New Age theories including claims that a nearby rocky outcrop, the Pic de Bugarach, harbours an alien technical base. $$$
New Zealand (economic impact Christchurch earthquake)

New Zealand (Christchurch reinsurance)
AMI, Christchurch’s largest residential insurer, is dismissing concerns it could be uninsured as soon as Friday as officials scramble to put reinsurance in place in the event of a fourth quake. AMI CEO John Balmforth restated on Tuesday the company’s position that it was confident that reinsurance would be in place before Friday but said the company would not publicly comment on the situation until next Monday. $$$
