It's often the case with general people to see everything as a unit of country, prefecture, or the name of disaster.

But, the actual damaged area is within 30km of the plant, while those foreigners think the country itself is dangerous. So, they should have fled to other parts of Japan rather than going abroad with skyrocketing air fare.
