Question:
japan had a huge 9.0 earthquake, and they are a huge wreck now. am i able to go there and help out, or is donating money the only thing i can do?? p.s. im 16 so if i could go am i old enough?
Answer:
It is very honorable that you want to come and help but currently no civilians or potential volunteers (unless you are in the Tohoku region) are permitted into the disaster area on the Tohoku coast. It is virtually blocked off to the public.
Also, you are also too young to go into a disaster area. Unless you are a certified relief workers or a doctor that has been directly asked to come, you won't be allowed into the Tohoku region. There are some young people volunteering, but these students lived through the disaster and are currently living in the shelters that are provided while volunteering to help the other people there.
