The government plans to review a policy regarding what people should do in the event of a major earthquake in the Tokyo metropolitan area, The Yomiuri Shimbun has learned.
According to sources, a three-stage plan is being considered to determine the course of action people should take if they are not at home when disaster strikes, regarding how, when and whether to return home. The current policy calls for people to remain in situ for three days if a disaster occurs when they are at such locations as their workplace or school.
