Tokyo .- The Japanese Government today called for restraint in making food and fuel gathering in places safe from the earthquake to ensure there is enough in the devastated areas. "The fuel supply is worse in the areas most affected by the earthquake, so we put all our efforts to ensure the supply in these places," said government spokesman, Yukio Edan, at a press conference.
Therefore, he urged citizens to avoid "panic" in their fuel purchases, since the priority is the provision in the areas of the country where the earthquake caused major damage and the subsequent tsunami. Japan's Defense Minister, Toshimi Kitazawa, said his department has provided fuel to the Self Defense Forces were stored in their bases around the country.
Kyodo news agency reported that those reserves of fuel will be distributed beginning today by plane over the province of Miyagi, the most devastated by the quake. Edan qualified that in Japan there are no gas shortages, since several countries have offered their reservations. However, Kitazawa acknowledged that the Executive works tirelessly to get the kerosene to power stoves with which to shelter from the bitter cold last night suffering from the northeast.
About food, government spokesman called for calm with provisions, after staying empty shelves of some supermarkets. Edan said citizens should not worry about the lack of supply of staples, and the Minister of Agriculture, Michihiko Kano, said the government granaries will dispose of their stocks of rice.
"I ask the public to act with calm and accumulate no more food than is required by the urgent need in the devastated areas, "said Kano. Authorities also asked to continue saving energy, while more outages are expected due to the crisis in the Fukushima nuclear plant. Tokyo Electric Power believes it will have to maintain until the end of April outages in several provinces of the island of Honshu, which for now will not affect the center of Tokyo.
