3 (1) International Organizations Announcement related to Visit Japan ICAO and IMO on 14 April 2011 Radiation monitoring around airports and seaports in Japan continues to confirm that levels remain well within safe limits from a health perspective. WHO on 13 April 2011 Public health risks beyond the 30km evacuation zone around the plant are currently still low. (2) Japan Tourism Agency Commissioner on 22 April 2011 We are committed to welcoming visitors from all over the world to our country. A vast majority of Japan s regions and their tourism attractions have not been affected by the disasters at all and thus are completely prepared to welcome guests from around the world. (3) Ministry of Foreign Affairs Singapore Travel Advisory on 12 May 2011 We no longer advise against non-essential travel to Japan.l

4 12/05/2011 MFA Spokesman's comments on travel to Japan We no longer advise against non-essential travel to Japan. Singaporeans should, however, continue to avoid travel to the coastal areas of Fukushima, Miyagi and Iwate prefectures which were the most affected by the 11 March earthquake and tsunami, as these areas continue to suffer disruptions to residential, business and transport infrastructure. The International Atomic Energy Agency continues to maintain its assessment that the "overall situation at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant remains very serious". Singaporeans should therefore: strictly observe the exclusion zone of 30 km around the Fukushima nuclear power plant imposed by the Japanese Government; and refrain from travel within a radius of 80 km from the Fukushima nuclear power plant, and Singaporeans who remain there are strongly advised to relocate to safer areas.

5 Reconstruction from the Present Earthquake: (1) Tohoku Expressway Tohoku Expressway is a traffic and commercial artery, connecting Tohoku and Kanto. 347 km out of 675 km of the expressway was destroyed by the earthquake on March 11, but the traffic restriction was lifted on March 24 th following the completion in emergency restoration measures. Tohoku Expressway 出典 :NEXCO 東日本 Mar 12th Mar 17th 出典 :NEXCO 東日本 Mar 12th 出典 :NEXCO 東日本 Mar 21th 出典 :NEXCO 東日本

6 Reconstruction from the Present Earthquake: (2) Railroads None of 26 trains operated at the moment of the earthquake was derailed. Neither serious destruction of elevated bridges and stations, nor tunnel collapse occurred. The entire Tohoku Shinkansen resumed its operation on April 29 th. Morioka to Shin Aomori Resumed Operation in April 13th Ichinoseki to Morioka Resumed Operation in April 23th Sendai to Ichinoseki Resumed Operation in April 29th Fukushima to Sendai Resumed Operation in April 25th Nasushiobara to Fukushima Resumed Operation in April 12th

7 Reconstruction from the Present Earthquake: (3) Sea Ports Quays of major ports in the quake-hit pacific coast from Aomori to Ibaragi became available on May 24 th The ports damaged by the tsunami are subsequently recovering its functions.
