Presentations aid communication during Japanbs disaster Concerned citizens from around the world have been uploading presentations with data and photos to communicate the unbelievable devastation that the earthquake and resulting tsunami created. The scientific community and emergency response organizations have also been posting presentations on SlideShare in order to quickly get information out. The International Atomic Energy Agency continues to post daily briefings to its channel. You may have seen our blog post, which included presentations from many perspectives, including emergency housing, geophysics and GPS, and a guide to non-profit resources. We also appreciate the economic assesment published by the Economic Intelligence Unit of The Economist, which was added to the original blog post. We will keep careful watch for useful information in future presentations, and will make sure to bring them to your attention.
