Hi! I'm Tarou! I specialize in disaster science, but more specifically on earthquakes, volcanoes, tornadoes, and typhoons in the Asia-Pacific region. Although, seldomly I also cover those on other regions such as the hurricanes on the East Coast of the United States, the Tornado Alley, and the earthquakes along the Ring of Fire. Simply, my main areas will involve natural disasters. Aside from that, I'll try to maintain and edit articles for grammar-checks, history revisions, and update relevant information in my free time, as well as cross-referencing citations and sources for their validity. If you have any questions or concerns (on Wikipedia), head over to my talk page. You can also reach me through my socials, preferably on Discord for faster responses. Other inquiries, contents and otherwise, can be communicated through my e-mail.
