The U.S.A to Offer Helicopter Assistance to Affected Areas in Japan: All American Military Personnel and US Embassy Accounted For Thus Far

Based on the most recent reports, the US government stands ready to support the Japanese government.  The Obama Administration is in contact with the U.S base in Japan to make US resources available to the Japanese government.

Helicopters are needed.  They will be able to rescue people from the sites where they are stranded.  Boats and ships will search the seas for the passenger boats that were swept to high seas.

President Obama has just said that he has ordered the resources of the US and troops based in Japan to help our great ally, Japan.  He also said that the personnel of the US embassy has found safer and higher grounds in Japan.  He is coordinating and keeping informed of what is going on there.  He wants to make sure that all US citizens are provided with assistance in Japan.

The president also added that he does not have all the details yet.  He continues to receive updates from the American personnel in Japan.  The reason is because the quake and ensuing tsunami have just happened.  He is deferring ... and waiting for more info on the developing situation.

He is also addressing the high prices paid at the gas stations.  He is watching for price gauges. 


A whirlpool has been created in the ocean in the Sendai area.  Its presence may indicate that the bottom of the ocean was cracked by the power of the quake.  This site will be a very dangerous area for anybody who stumbles upon it while navigating!

So far the US has sent many ships such as the Ronald Reagan to the affected areas, but high levels of radiation have caused many of them to change course.  These ships have planes and helicopters that could help in the rescue and relief efforts, but due to the high levels of radiation, they can not operate them.  They are waiting till the levels go down.  The US has also sent two specialized fire trucks to the power plant in question.  So far, the US has not been asked to deploy troops to help out.
