Australians in affected areas in Japan

  • Sharebar

Australia, March 14, 2011 – It has been reported recently in almost all news networks the recent tragedy which struck Japan these past few days. It can never be denied how much suffering this calamity has given to these people. Thus, everybody called upon other people around the world to help survive this madness of the land and sea.

A massive earthquake with a magnitude of 8.9 had hit Japan creating a few meters-high tsunami. As a result, this tsunami has covered a big part of Japan and has left people homeless, hopeless, and lifeless.

Among these people who survived are Australians and they are urged to seek help through the consular emergency line. They are very much ready to give assistance and help Australians who are in dire need of help and temporary shelter.

Death toll will always start with one but it is expected that this number will rise as people are trying to retrieve people who were buried under the floating houses, cars, and trees. People are still hoping to find survivors who will turn up miraculously amidst this hopeful situation.

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade says Australians in affected areas should keep track with the media so as they will be able to know what to do and where to go and that, they should follow the instructions of local authorities for them to know where they could get help.

Australians concerned for family or friends should first try to contact them directly, but if they can’t be reached, then you should try to contact the consul and ask for help in finding your loved ones.

Since then, a tsunami watch has been organized by the US in order to avoid much damage if ever such a tragedy will happen to them.

The Department of Foreign Affairs has given +612 6261 3305 as the number Australians can contact in case they need consular assistance. DFAT is only one call away and at least survivors will have the chance to be given a little hope for a better tomorrow amidst this sorrow.
