Whether it’s photos, video or firsthand accounts, we’ve tried to keep you informed about the disasters in Japan and their effect on Hawaii.

We thought the infographic below was worth sharing. It focuses on Japan and organizes some of the data behind the March 10 earthquake and tsunami. The graphic shows the sheer size and magnitude of the disasters — from the number of missing and dead to estimated damages and economic losses.

There is also information on how you can help. Please continue to keep the people of Japan in your thoughts.

The numbers below are current as of March 22, 2011.
