If you’ve been looking for a way to directly help Japan, you can – by making a contribution to Safecast. Safecast aims to donate personal geiger counters to the people in Japan, as well as to create an open data sensor network, with the information gathered with these devices accessible to anyone.
The folks at Safecast have been on-site in Japan, gathering data themselves – you can read about their setup and what they’ve found on their first recon mission, here.
Check out Safecast’s “About” video and donate if you can. There is just one week left to help, and this valuable project won’t get funded at all if their goal isn’t reached.
