Title: Situation in Japan
Post by: peaches2160 on March 18, 2011, 07:24:12 am
Does anyone have colleagues based in or working in Japan?  In light of the current events, how is your organizaton responding?  What measures, if any, have been put in place for colleagues and their families?

We have people in Narita, Japan.  They felt the earthquake, but were not affected by a tsunami.   Thank god no one in our organization was hurt, to my knowledge we had no one who lost any property or family so they were really lucky.

My heart goes out to all the families and the whole country.   We don't work with Japan but have some programs going for the Red Cross.

Our offices in Tokyo are fully operational again.

When working for a global company and making up only a part of the UK division, it is easy to forget other sites around the world.

We lost some employees and a couple of our sites are not fully functional.  Some employees lost family members. I understand life in Tokyo is resuming, except for the  constant after shocks.
