I suggest you also look at Tim Blair’s blog from Australia if this has not been helpful.

International telephone calls are nearly impossible to Yangon, much less outlying cities.

Our staff are in the effected areas as well as the major cities of the country. They report that they escaped the devastation visited upon their neighbor countries — yet, for those within about 2-5 miles of the coastline along the Southern seashore — there is total devastation and perhaps the ultimate death toll will be a couple hundred.

The effected area is of course a prime tourism spot and many are trying to learn the whereabouts and condition of family and friends they believe to be in the country or area.

I will forward all missing persons inquiries to our staff for their attention. Please understand that like all agencies — right now you cannot have enough staff to meet the demands. Be patient and pray.

Provide as much information about the person(s) as you can — name, DOB, gender, last contact, itinerary (guess if you don’t know positively), hotel or housing info, any phone, flight numbers, dates, last contacts — ANYTHING and EVERYTHING you can think of that would assist in placing their location and assist us in trying to find them.
