Efforts are being made to cool the nuclear reactors. Military helicopters are dumping 7.5 tons of water onto the damaged reactors. Riot control vehicles are also en route to use their hoses to blast water into the reactors in efforts to resupply cooling pools.
Something like this has never been attempted before. Helicopter crews and vehicle drivers are also exposing themselves to potentially dangerous levels of radiation.
While this is happening, more than 330,000 people are struggling to stay warm and find food in evacuation centers throughout the affected areas.
We will try to do whatever we can to help. $1 will pay for a toothbrush for someone who hasn't brushed their teeth since last week. $5 will pay for a blanket so that 7 people don't have to share 1 blanket because there isn't enough fuel to run the heater. $10 will pay for food that keeps the search/rescue teams working hard or pay for food that will help evacuees get food into their systems.
Every little bit helps.
