For the people in Disaster area pray for them and at this time let the profissional do thier job."  -- Yasin AlYasin [Entrepreneur Association of Tokyo @ LinkedIn]

    I was sadden to note that a massive tsunami, unleashed by a powerful earthquake, caused widespread damages and massive sufferings to Japan and its people. Please send my condolences and sympathy, especially to those who lost their close friends, relatives and family members. Given the closely knitted society and ingenuity, I am certain the people of Japan will quickly overcome the adversity.

    Thank you for your leadership. I recommend people get potassium iodine for the water, masks for your face and duct tape for your windows. Btw - does anyone know which way the wind is blowing?

    To Jun and the HR community:

    My thoughts and prayers are with you, your family and friends and our colleagues. The enormity of what has happened is so hard to grasp from Australia, as is the extent of the devastation, personal tragedy and tragic loss of life.

    My thoughts and prayers are with everyone in Japan, particularly those who have lost family members in this catastrophic event. What we see on the news each day is making us understand that the devastation is a new reality for your country, with consequences that will require years for recovery. If there is anything we as a global HR community can do to help, please let us know.
