Statement By The President On The Earthquake In Japan And The Resulting Tsunami Warning Throughout The Pacific

"Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to the people of Japan, 
particularly those who have lost loved ones in the earthquake and tsunamis. 
The United States stands ready to help the Japanese people in this time of great trial. 
The friendship and alliance between our two nations is unshakeable, and only strengthens our resolve 
to stand with the people of Japan as they overcome this tragedy. 
We will continue to closely monitor tsunamis around Japan and the Pacific going forward and 
we are asking all our citizens in the affected region to listen to their state and local officials 
as I have instructed FEMA to be ready to assist Hawaii and the rest of the US states and 
territories that could be affected."
