=====
CNN has a handful of youtube videos that they are re-running but we would so much appreciate hearing more from you on the ground in Japan. It sounds like Tokyo is in pretty good shape but we’d like to hear more. And of course we hope for information from the primary disaster areas as well. 
Please send Tweets, Facebook Updates, LinkedIn updates . Please use the Social Media sites you participate on. Many of you have set up Twitter accounts that have been dormant.
Twitter is a great way to share information.
Useful Sites:
Google Crisis Response includes flight cancellation status and other useful updated information (English)
Wikipedia current disaster page filled with useful links and updates
Giving
There are references to charities in most of the links on this page, in addition
How You Can Help from Tokyo Time Out
Useful Facebook Pages:
EJournal published by the United States Department of State, Bureau of International Information Programs (English)
Bringing the world together Facebook Page – in various languages including English and Japanese
Facebook Page for Touhoku EarthQuake
It is primarily in Japanese but you can certainly add English comments.
I was able to get this English update from Nemo O’Zeky there: 
Rolling blackouts in Tokyo and region to start on Monday the 14th — rotating every 3 hours. They decided on the 14th and not the 13th because the 14th starts the work week and that is when factories and commercial business will need the power to operate.
ACCJ (American Chamber of Commerce) has put up an AmCham English Facebook Page – unfortunately, they have set it up as a fairly closed system that does not encourage others to update.

Are there other useful Facebook Pages that we can communicate with you through?

Matthias Jugel owner of Twimpact (in Germany) set up a stream on Twimpact to live search tweets by keywords and #tags and includes cloud of active twitter accounts providing local information. This is designed to capture Japanese tweets because of the keywords used, no doubt adding English keywords would bring in concerned voices from around the world drowning out the active local voices. It runs rather heavy, and includes translation to English.  If you find it frustrating to watch, you can use your own hashtags selected from those found there.
NHK World (Japan’s national TV station) has begun a livestream in English with full earthquake/tsunami coverage on this NHK Ustream link. 
In Japanese, the TBS Channel on UStream.
