ACCJ/FCIJ Post-Quake Surveys

[Mulboyne]

The American Chamber of Commerce in Japan (ACCJ) and Foreign Chambers in Japan (FCIJ) have released the results of a survey of foreign and local businessman in the aftermath of the earthquake. 80% reported their companies are operating business as usual while 47-48% said their personal lives are back to normal. Interestingly, Japanese respondents came out as less confident they were informed about airborne radiation risks than their foreign counterparts. 54% said airborne radiation remains their primary concern against 15% in the foreign community. Foreign businessmen are more concerned about power outages (34%) and food & water safety (30%) than Japanese (9% and 21% respectively). Both communities expressed a rising dissatisfaction about the quality of official information about the situation in the Kanto region. More in the links below.

How can anyone NOT be concerned with food and water safety? Oh, that's right, TIJ...
