Emergency Information (in English) for those in Japan

In Japan, we have a lot of viewers in the country but also family, friends and clients.  J!-ENT will do our best to post any important information for those who have love ones in Japan or those who are currently living in Japan.   By updating this page and having it in our front page to help people.

If you are searching for someone in Japan, please use the GOOGLE PEOPLE FINDER as you can get information in Japanese and in English.  Also, view Facebook Japan page and TIME OUT JAPAN for any other pertinent updated information.

WATCHING LIVE JAPANESE NEWS REPORTS

We know a lot of people right now who don’t have access to a TV, especially with the rolling black outs in their area but they do have access to an iPhone and iPad (which some are recharging inside their cars).  Please note that Bic Camera is offering free phone charging at their stores.

All five major Japanese networks are streaming their news online via Ustream.  You can watch the following using the Ustream app for your iPhone or iPad:

NHK |  NHK WORLD (ENGLISH) |  TBS |  FUJI TV |  NIHON TV | TV ASAHI

Also, there is a free earthquake iPhone app from Softbank now available.
