Catholic Relief Services is standing by ready to assist people affected by the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan early Friday morning.
From CRS:
“We know from 2004 the devastating impact that these tsunamis can have,” said Sean Callahan, CRS’ executive vice president for overseas operations. “As with all such disasters, CRS will help people recover from the emergency and stand with them as they recover in the months and years to come.”
Caritas Japan is beginning to assess the needs in that country where the tsunami has caused extensive damage. CRS has programs in the Philippines and Indonesia and works with Caritas Oceania that is active in numerous islands in the Pacific that might be affected. Central American countries where CRS works could also be in danger.
“We will reach out to our Caritas partners to help them in any way we can,” Callahan said.
