I have several friends living in Japan, three of whom are in Tokyo and one who I regard as 'best mate'. It seems the devastation in some places is on an almost unimaginable scale. For instance, CTV Edmonton reports thus: "Miyagi, with a population of 2.3 million, is one of the worst-affected prefectures after Friday's earthquake and tsunami. So far, only 379 people have officially been confirmed there." Let's remember that Japan is a civilised population with an enviable infrastructure, as well as a thorough awareness amongst the population of their own vulnerability, which means they take their 'preparedness' for incidents such as this very seriously. Yet in spite of this, the death toll is likely to be hugeââ¬Â¦
