Japan -- US State Department travel warning

Please note the recent elevation of the State department travel warning for Japan.  At this point we believe there to be two ISU faculty members in Nagoya, and they have been in contact with us to confirm they are safe so far.  We are reasonably certain there are no ISU students in Japan.
