Confirmed death toll from the Japan Quake is more than 1,500, however in just one prefecture (Miyagi pref.) they are estimating that it'll be more than 10,000. There are 2 other prefectures (Fukushima and Iwate) which were the three hardest hit by the quake have thousands of missing people who haven't been confirmed their whereabouts.
In most of the cities, not just the directly affected, there will be power and food/water shortages, and unstable phone lines in general.
