[0:00] We are currently operating the emergency telephone number 171
[0:04] . Dial 171 from an NTT landline or other service and
[0:09] record your message. To hear what they have to say,
[0:16] please dial 171. Here is the information.
[0:19] Yes, we will be providing you with information about railways
[0:21] .
[0:22] According to JR East, as of

[0:43] Okay, Prime Minister Seki will now begin his press conference. The
[0:46] Prime Minister has responded to this earthquake, and we will now begin the meeting, so please listen. A voice from the
[0:53] public: As you are already aware from television and radio, at 2:46 PM today, a
[1:05] very strong earthquake with a magnitude of 8.4 occurred off the coast of Sanriku.
[1:11] This has resulted in extensive damage across a wide area, primarily in the Tohoku region
[1:17] . I
[1:25] offer my deepest condolences to all those affected by the disaster. Regarding nuclear facilities
[1:30] , some nuclear power plants automatically shut down
[1:35] , but so far no
[1:39] impact of radioactive materials on the outside has been confirmed
[1:44] . In
[1:46] response to this situation, I
[1:52] immediately established an emergency disaster response headquarters, with myself as its head
[1:57] . The government will dedicate all its resources to ensuring the safety of the public and minimizing damage
[2:08] .
