The second from the primary emergency contact fire Tomioka in Fukushima
The regional fire department and local fire department Futaba district city of Tomioka after the earthquake lost contact with the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
The only means of obtaining information was by telephone to the plant. Only after repeated calls did they get through only to be told they needed "more time to research" causing frustration. Then they were told that "there is no water for the emergency core cooling system at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant." About 2 hours after the earthquake, firefighters arrived at one of the two plants, the southern Fukushima II nuclear power plant which did not suffer a power loss or meltdown.
Fire chief Watanabe received a phone call from a " calm person". Regional Deputy Director, Metropolitan Fire Department Fire in Futaba said an event "equivalent to Article 15 of the events occurred Nuclear Disaster Special Measures Law in Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power" had occured, which sounded quite serious, yet he had no details
7:00 pm A nuclear emergency declaration is issued by the government with instructions to evacuate within 3 km radius of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. The headquarters was confused. "What the hell happened to the nuclear power plant?" They thought "this will displace tens of thousands of people", and told them "Do not panic"
