they suspended the helicopter cooling operation for today.

repeated the precautionary measures for people in the danger zone -- stay in, if you have to go out cover mouth, etc.

4. fukushima's people have been hit by all three disasters --

earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear --

they need to evacuate & priority is to secure the evacuation shelters -- they don't have gas, they need food -- they have some but would like hot meals --

the announcement is still going on, tokyo person is monitoring & will give gist when complete
