US Embassy Emergency Teams At Work

I do not own the rights to the song *Sing* by the Glee Cast used in this video and urge you to purchase it on iTunes if you want a copy.

Take an inside look at the U.S. Embassy, Japan emergency working groups set up to respond to the after effects of Northern Japan's recent earthquake and tsunami. We are helping American citizens, coordinating U.S. humanitarian and disaster assistance, providing experts to help with the Fukushima nuclear reactor damage and working closely with Japan on its recovery effort. Our health teams provided valuable science-based information on the effects of radiation and ensured that the food and water we used was safe. These shots are taken from just one of several groups that staff the 24/7 emergency centers in Tokyo. In addition to our normal Embassy Japan staff we have brought in US diplomats from all over the world to help Japan at its time of need. But behind this effort is the unwaivering support of our families and our Japanese staff. Without their hard work and strength we could not have done so much in so little time.
