Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano told reporters today that residents living between 20km and 30km of the damaged Fukushima reactor should consider voluntary evacuation at this time to avoid further hardship.
Citing severe living conditions brought on - in part - due to harsh disruptions of essential services and breaks in the local supply/distribution chain, he urged those who have remained in the `stay indoors’ zone for the past two weeks to consider leaving.
He also stated that depending upon radiation levels, the government could extend the mandatory evacuation zone in the coming days.
