The invisible dragon of Daiichi is loose, and will be for centuries. It's time to start talking about what this means for the world.
Stand with us on October 19th, in solidarity with the people of Japan. And here at home, let this be the wake up call we've been waiting for. We need to start demanding that our elected officials & agencies do what is necessary to test the water we drink, the air we breathe, the food we eat.
We need YOU Saturday, October 19th
on Ocean Beach in San Francisco at 11:00am
To help us say what we know...
We are all connected by bodies of water and we are mostly made up of water. We have one globally connected ocean and each of us has one body. All life was born in this ocean. She needs our help now. We need her help.
One ocean, One chance.
Join us on this beach, on this day. Help us align a thousand bodies in a message of great urgency:
FUKUSHIMA IS HERE.
Join us wherever you are on October 19th. Use any kind of sign, in any language, to cry out with us a message of great urgency:
FUKUSHIMA IS HERE.

“Fukushima Is Here”
A human mural on Ocean Beach in October
(Petaluma 8/20/13) On Saturday October 19th, 2013, FukushimaResponse will host a human mural event at
11:00am on Ocean Beach in San Francisco. The message, spelled out on sand by a multitude of people, will read
“Fukushima Is Here.” This event is intended to raise public awareness about the deteriorating situation at the
Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in northeastern Japan. Organizers hope to assemble people from all over
California to join in a collective gesture of public recognition: that the radioactive contamination released daily
from Fukushima, for two years already and many more yet to come, poses a serious threat to the global
ecosystem. A helicopter has been reserved for a photographer.
FukushimaResponse is a group of concerned Sonoma County residents who have been meeting regularly for two
years, working together to understand, inform others and lobby elected officials for action in response to the
ongoing threat of Fukushima contamination. In the summer of 2012, FukushimaResponse organized numerous
public informational events, hosted guest speakers from Japan and prepared a resolution approved by the
California Democratic Party calling for an international response equal to the crisis. This year they have doubled
their efforts to reach a broader public.
The surge of alarming Fukushima news coverage this summer revealed a number of disturbing problems at the
plant: uncontrolled releases of steam, an inundation of radioactive groundwater, more contaminated water to keep
three melted cores cool, and massive leaks of radioactive water into the Pacific Ocean that have apparently been
going since the beginning of the disaster.
Expressing her frustration at how this crisis has been handled, event coordinator Jina Brooks holds the Tokyo
Electric Power Company accountable, “TEPCO’s rationalization for not telling the public about the continued leaks
reminds me of my six year old, but then he would make better decisions. He lives and breathes the ocean. We
share this ocean with Japan, one ocean connects us all. And Fukushima is not over no matter what they say.”
FukushimaResponse recognizes that the entire west coast is particularly vulnerable should rising levels of nuclear
contamination from Japan reach our shore. The Fukushima Is Here human mural is a symbolic statement meant
to stimulate greater public discussion of this crisis in the hope that, from greater discussion, possible solutions will
appear or urgent mitigations be instituted. A threat of this magnitude to the health, economy and culture of
California is certainly grounds for concern.
Given the extraordinary impacts of steady global fallout for generations to come, ignoring the threat of Fukushima
is simply not a reasonable way to respond. For those who already know about this nuclear crisis, joining others to
make the “Fukushima Is Here” human mural will have a healing effect. Those who aren’t sure and have questions
will find a friendly opportunity to begin getting their answers. There is merit in the argument that the people who
face the risks have a right to know what they’re facing.
Event coordinator Jina Brooks continues, “Organizing people to spell our message is not meant to spread fear
and panic. It’s more like Paul Revere’s ride, citizens trying to alert other citizens to a real danger on the horizon.
My heart breaks when I think of what mothers must be experiencing in Japan.”
“Fukushima Is Here” human mural is Saturday October 19, 2013, 11:00am on Ocean Beach, San Francisco.

California air samples remain at nominal pre-Fukushima levels. The air samples showed considerable rise in Bq/m^3 only for the last 10 days of March 2011.

Today i measured ca. 0.07-0.09 micro-Sievert/ hour here in Tokyo and at the ground!
(i will upload it later, look for Radiation-Watch 2013)
The Pre-03/11 Levels was ca. 0.065 micro-Sievert/ Hour.
I check the Levels here in Kanto/ Japan since two Years and uploaded nearly
200 Videos, in ca. 90% we see very small increased Levels like 0.10-0.15 micro-Sievert/h.
But i measured also absolute intolerable Amounts over 1.00 micro-Sievert/ hour
but only in Corners and Rain Drains and in well known Hot-Spots.
