The Japanese Government is helping Alabama tornado victims.
They are donating emergency supplies including 8,000 blankets and 150 tarps worth more than $120,000.
On Thursday, the Japan International Cooperation Agency, JICA, had the emergency supplies transported from their warehouse in MIAMI to a FEMA incident base in Montgomery.
Japan Consul General, Takuji Hanatani, says this gift is in appreciation of what the aid United States offered during their earthquake and tsunami.
