An 8.9-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Japan on Friday, March 11. The resulting aftershocks and tsunami destroyed homes, crushed cars and killed hundreds of people.
A tsunami warning has been issued to dozens of countries including: Australia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Fiji, Guatemala, Honduras, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Nicaragua, the Philippines and the United States. Habitat has operations in all of these places.
