The most violent earthquake that occurred off the Sanriku region in north-east of the archipelago, has devastated the country's Pacific coast. This is the greatest crisis ever experienced by the country. But this should not make us give up. The Japanese must unite to overcome the disaster and to mobilize their efforts to rebuild and help those in need.
Nevertheless, the urgency is related to the situation in the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. The secretary general of the government, Yukio Edano said that all possible measures will be implemented to address the situation, but he delayed to explain what was happening. One may wonder if there were no problems in information management.
It is primarily the cooling system of No. 1 engine went wrong and led to the current situation. It is not without significance for Japan, which has made nuclear a stable source of its electricity supply. It is the faith in the safety device that brought the region to accommodate the plant.
If it turns out that breaches of basic safety rules are the cause of the incident, it would be intolerable. This type of nuclear power is used around the world. The effects of this incident, which undermines our confidence in their security, will not be limited in Japan. We need to verify immediately the security of our nuclear facilities throughout the territory.
Act with composure must also urgently undertake research and organizing assistance. Many victims are still abandoned at the scene of the accident. The Prime Minister, Naoto Kan, has decided to increase from 20 000 to 100 000 the number of soldiers deployed to areas hit by the earthquake.
The characteristic of our Self-Defense Forces is to be an autonomous body can adapt to emergency situations. They should be used to their full potential, but without so far neglected their primary mission, that of national defense. Kan government must strengthen the Self-Defense Forces, on which he wore a look so far negative.
We must expect to fight a long battle. The Sendai earthquake with a magnitude 9 on the Richter scale, is of a magnitude never registered at national level. By his power, he is ninety times greater than the level foreseen by the Agency for Meteorology submarine earthquake off Miyagi Prefecture, a magnitude of 7.5.
The Agency also points out "the possibility that there are repeatedly aftershocks exceeding magnitude 7" during a one month period. A tidal wave is still to be feared. On the night of March 12, there was a succession of shocks of strength 6 in the northern part of Nagano Prefecture. While stating that there was "no direct link" with the earthquake in Sendai, the agency said that nevertheless could "not say it was not the trigger." This cataclysm of unparalleled intensity can cause other earthquakes anywhere in the east.
All Japanese should be prepared for such an eventuality and act calmly. The affected areas stretch from Hokkaido to the Kanto [Tokyo area]. To help them continuously, it will probably be necessary to establish a volunteer system, and municipalities not affected by the earthquake will have to accommodate those who lost their homes.
We must be vigilant during visits by government officials. It appears that the parties provide some direction on inspection. Do not interfere, however they come to the rescue work. Count on American support for economic aid system was introduced. The major national banks as regional banks have opened branches in some of their desks preliminary and it is possible to withdraw money without having to make a booklet or seal certified, just as the identity of customer can be verified.
The distribution sector, starting companies Kombination [convenience stores], provides emergency tents, food, water or batteries. More than fifty countries including the United States and South Korea have offered their assistance. U.S. President Obama, who said that Japan was "one of the countries closest allies," Naoto Kan has brought his total support.
He ordered eight warships, including the aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan, who was participating in joint exercises Korean-American, to go off the coast of Sanriku. It is expected that the U.S. military is working to concrete tasks. We think including the rescue of disaster victims by helicopter or transport troops of the SDF.
But there are more important relief work carried out jointly by the U.S. military and the SDF into Japan is a first. We would like this cooperation strengthens the Japan-US alliance.
