Information for Australians in Japan
This Bulletin is current for Tuesday, 15 March 2011.
The Bulletin was issued on Monday, 14 March 2011, 17:11:15, EST.
The Bulletin was updated on Tuesday, 15 March 2011, 19:07:43, EST.
A magnitude 9.0 earthquake occurred off the east coast of Japan which generated a tsunami on 11 March 2011. This has caused significant damage along the north east and north-west coastlines and in particular to roads and buildings in the Fukushima, Miyagi, Aomori, Iwate, Nagano, Niigata and Ibaraki Prefectures. Authorities have confirmed a large number of deaths and injuries. Strong aftershocks are continuing, including in Tokyo and surrounds.
Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant: There have been three explosions at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant in Okumacho in Fukushima Prefecture. On 12 March 2011, Japanese authorities applied a 20 kilometre evacuation zone around the facility. Following a third explosion on 15 March 2011, the Japanese authorities announced that residents within 20-30 kilometres of the facility should remain indoors, keep windows and doors closed and not use ventilation. Australians should not travel to the area surrounding the affected power plant. You should follow all instructions of Japanese authorities.
Miyagi Prefecture: Australians are advised not to travel to Miyagi Prefecture due to the ongoing relief and recovery operation and severe damage caused to key infrastructure (power, telephone and water) caused by the earthquake and tsunami.
Australians in Miyagi Prefecture should leave if they have no reason to remain.
Telephone and communications services have also been severely disrupted throughout the affected area as a result of damaged infrastructure. JR trains and road networks are heavily affected throughout the tsunami and earthquake affected area.
The most heavily affected areas are also without essential services and there are reports of shortages of food and water.
Reconsider your need to travel to the wider affected area: You should reconsider your need to travel to the Chiba, Fukushima, Aomori, Iwate and Ibaraki Prefectures and surrounding districts until further notice due to the disruption to essential services caused by the earthquake. You should reconsider your need to travel to Nagano and Niigata Prefectures due to the threat of further earthquakes and the risk of avalanches. Australians in these areas, particularly tourists and short-term visitors, should firstly follow local authorities’ advice and carefully consider their ongoing need to remain.
Tokyo and surrounding earthquake-affected districts: You should also reconsider your need to travel to Tokyo and surrounding earthquake-affected districts due to the risk of unpredictable disruptions to essential services such as transport and electric power. There are reports of shortages of supplies to retail outlets in the region. This includes the deliberate shutdown of some train links and power services by Japanese authorities seeking to divert electricity elsewhere.
Disruption to essential services: On 13 March 2011, Japanese officials announced a program of rolling power cuts that will affect other parts of Japan. These power cuts will commence in Tokyo on 14 March and are likely to affect a range of services such as railways and communications networks, and may include parts of the country not affected by the earthquake and tsunami.
Authorities have blocked the main freeways to north east Honshu due to the damage in these areas. Please note weather condition as some of these Prefectures still have snow.
Narita Airport has re-opened, although flights to and from the Airport are experiencing disruptions. Train services to the Airport will be subject to intermittent disruption due to rolling electricity cuts aimed at conserving power. These cuts will affect many parts of Japan. On 14 March 2011, train services to Narita airport have been cancelled. Other rail services are likely to be affected. You should expect lengthy delays if travelling to Narita airport by road. You should allow sufficient travel time to make your scheduled flight. Sendai, Yamagata and Hanamaki airports in Tohoku (northern) region remain closed. Amami and Kikajima airports in Kagoshima Prefecture in Kyushu are also closed. Haneda Airport in Tokyo is running some flights. Osaka Airport is operational.
You should check with your airline or travel agent for the latest information on flights.
Travel to parts of Japan unaffected by the tsunami and earthquake: Australians considering non-essential travel in parts of Japan unaffected by the earthquake and tsunami should carefully consider their need to undertake such travel at this time due to the disruption to transport hubs in and around Tokyo. You should also consider the disruption from rolling power cuts on your travel plans in Japan.
Australians in the affected areas should monitor local news and radio and follow the advice of local authorities in the first instance.
If you are in Japan and require assistance, you can contact the Australian Embassy in Tokyo on 03 5232 4111 and you will be transferred to the Crisis Centre.
If concerned about friends and relatives: If you are concerned about Australians in Japan you should in the first instance try to contact them directly. If this is unsuccessful, you can contact the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade 24-hour Consular Emergency Centre on +61 2 6261 3305 (from overseas) or 1300 555 135 (within Australia).
This bulletin should be read in conjunction with our travel advice for Japan.
