‘’Residents affected by the disaster don’t even know whether they should stay or evacuate,’’ he said
Well the gov. did say to leave after all...so they best leave. I sometimes wonder what makes people “wonder” what they should do when it’s pretty clear what they should do.

I believe the gov first told them to remain indoors and specifically not to leave. They did so on the understanding that it was safer for them to remain indoors than to be outdoors breathing the tainted air and perhaps even offering a contamination problem to surrounding areas as they tried to leave. Then the situation did not improve as expected. Time dragged on and then delivery people were unwilling to enter this zone. And there are reports of people who leave this area being rejected by surrounding shelter unless they could provide a certificate indicating that they are not contaminated - but where would they get one of those? And in a belated sort of way...the gov said recently...that they could leave if they wanted to or suggested they may want to leave. So the impression may be that it is no safer to do so but that deliveries to the area are not likely to be sufficient so...oh well...maybe you should leave. I suspect they are still without power so perhaps they are getting their info from radio or perhaps not getting much info at all and are afraid.
