A very powerful earthquake of an unprecedented mag. 8.8 hit the northern part of Japan in the afternoon of March 11, 2011 at 2:46PM. This triggered up to 10-meter-high tsunami waves that caused a great, at some places a total destruction in areas along the Pacific coast of eastern Japan. This earthquake was followed by a couple of additional quakes at 3：06PM (magnitude 7.0) and at 3:15PM (magnitude 7.4).
The extensive quake that has affected Tohoku and other regions continues to rattle the nation with frequent aftershocks in the scale of magnitude 5-7. The devastating tsunami caused by the quake has washed away the cities in the disaster stricken area which has worsened the damage done by the quake. More powerful earthquakes are expected within the next few days.
The number of death toll/affected population is constantly on the rise, countless people have been missing. Basic infrastructures such as water and electricity have been destroyed and even in less hit areas have not yet recovered. Some two million households are without power and even in less affected areas including Tokyo power restrictions and outages are predicted.
In response to this catastrophic earthquake we at PCCIJ have decided to collect emergency contributions for the victims of this incredible disaster through our international network in Poland and other EU countries as well as the USA. The collected funds will be contributed to the governmental and/or NPOs which are directly involved in the relief work.
Note: As of 13 April, 2011 we collected 1,225,000 yen .
Donors: C&M Group, Vestey Foods Japan Ltd., NCM Entertainment Corp./Forever Entertainment S.A., PLT/Chopin Night (Polish Restaurant & Bar), Mr. Kei Mori, individual persons. (Note: Names of donors are published with their prior consent.)
