Izumi, since I have been in the government before I totally understand their position and I believe they are doing the best. Sometimes look that we could do better but outside it is hard to figure out the amount of work they are doing to fix thing as such. Let's give them some credit!

Hi,
The official stats and figures of the scope and degree of damages
are being released only after they are "confirmed". They are trying
to suppress the over-heated speculations that might, they think,
cause panics. In part, I understand this.

Now, the nuclear reactor could have been seriously damaged
and much attention is paid on this matter. The Power company
is not doing the best job so is the government. However, again,
it is very important to keep things "under control" and while we
tend to criticize these, we also need to know that this is quite
an unprecedented event and now one is really prepared to deal.
Of course, in terms of professional risk management, there are
things neglected or were neglected. But now may not be the
time to discuss these.

Most people here in Japan are remaining very calm. If million
of people start to act irrationally, it's no easy to keep order,
Already, there are no butteries you can buy here in Tokyo,
as the power supply will start to stop on rotational basis.
Gasoline supply is also very limited and long que of cars
to the fuel station is commonly seen.

But most of the people's sentiment is - "we have to bear
these difficulties, it's a lot less than those who lost their
lives, houses, family and friends."

best,

izumi
