Mantenere la calma. E' questo il messaggio lanciato dal primo ministro giapponese, Naoto Kan, che in tuta d’emergenza ha parlato alla sua nazione a poche ore dal violento sisma che l'ha travolta."Given the situation an emergency disaster response headquarters has been set up, with myself as the head. We will secure the safety of the people of Japan and in order to minimize damage, the government will make every effort possible. And we ask the people of Japan to continue to be cautious and vigilant and keep tuned to the reports on the television and radio, and we ask the people of Japan to act calmly."
