Social Media Helps Victims, Families Connect After Japan Disaster

Social media is playing a large role in allowing people to communicate in the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.

Seattle Pacific University student Jenni Husby has used Facebook to check in with friends. She was raised in Japan and spent time on the coast where the Tsunami hit, she said.

Mastataka Sugasawa, a Western Washington University exchange student who went back to Japan, was able to touch base with worried friends who had lost touch with him after the tsunami.
