Many rescue teams have been in Japan or are on the way.
According to the BBC, the British rescue team are departing only a few days after they came back from New Zealand rescue service.
I appreciate your efforts, I sincerely hope that they will save as many precious lives as they can.
I've added English site from 2009, as my English is getting a bit rusty while learning French.

Hang in there Japan !
As you might have seen loads of media coverages of the disaster in Japan.
I only found that out around 7:30 am in France, over BBC website. I turn the TV on and watched the horrible scenes that I thought that was the war scenes from Arab countries.
I would like to say thank you for all my friends and families all over the world, concerning my country. To be honest, living so far away, I felt powerless.
I knew my family won't be at home and realised I don't have their mobile numbers, Then I tried to send them emails. I send several emails to my friends too. In the late afternoon that day, I managed to receive replies from my sister, brother, some of my friends. Apparently mobile networks were down in many areas that it was no use.
Tokyo got hit by the largest ever earthquake since 1923. That time, it was hit at noon that hundreds of thousands of people lost their lives by fire. You just never know when it hit you.
Even my 70yrs old dad told me that he never had any big shakes in his life.
You'd think that mobile is supposed to be useful it's urgent but in this case, noooo use. The road gets stuck, the tubes were suspended. Some of my friends even using Skypes and Twitters to get some advices on the tube information.
In Urayasu city in Chiba, the city created by the artificial land where my uncle live,there are power cuts and no water supply since the earthquake.
Heard on the japanese radio programs over the internet, they were very calm and some listeners sending many messages like
"I'm working on the electricity company, we're working hard to get back the electricity as quickly as possible, tomorrow when my shift comes, I will do my best for people in Japan."
"To avoid any other accidents, please avoid using mobile phone when driving, switch off the main electricity if you leave home"
Now there's a big threat of nuclear leakage. It's been confirmed that there are three patients out of 90 from nearby hospital were already exposed when evacuated.
I am praying for my country.
Sincerely hope that the japanese government and the related authorities will be fair and open to the information they have regarding this for the sake of all people. The government is very famous for not getting their credibility, by loads of reasons.
Thanks to the internet, there was still a way to communicate with people. Japan had developped sophisticated buildings against earthquakes, however, they have more problems to tackle - Transportation and Mobile networks.
Hang in there people!!!
