Tohoku Earthquake Tokyo Evacuation

東日本大震災東京避難

The Japanese government's evacuation - a 20 kilometer (12 miles) perimeter from the Fukushima nuclear power plant - standard is still in place.

The US government is recommending 80 kilometers (50 miles), but has yet to advise evacuation beyond that.

However, other nations are urging their nationals to leave Tokyo.

Austria has moved its embassy staff to Osaka, south of Kyoto, for the time being.

The government of France has on its web site urged French citizens to head home or to southern Japan.

Australia, Germany, and Britain have advised their nationals to "consider leaving Tokyo." The German embassy has been "partly relocated" to Osaka.

Serbia and Croatia have told their citizens to leave Japan.

3,000 Chinese nationals have left Tohoku for Niigata.
