SOS from Mayor of Minami Soma City, next to the crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant, Japan

[April 7th 2011 Update]
The Chief Cabinet Secretary, Yukio Edano, has said in the press
conference held on March 7, that regarding the range outside the 30km
from the Fukushimia Daiichi Nuclear Plant, "we are considering how
we should advise evacuation based on data and accumulating amount of
radiation." The government may give evacuation orders depending on
the cumulative quantity of radiation.
