You do realize the first image on that site (north america labeled as Australia) is a total fabrication, right? I mean if you're just going to outright lie about Apple Map problems people are really going to think you are crying wolf.

If you think Google is going to save you, you might want to think again. It can't even find an Arby's when you need it, much less this other stuff:

The evacuation was a precaution immediately after the emergency was declared because there might be a release. If you evacuate after a release you're probably screwed and already breathing in byproducts.

So they've been keeping people out of the area for two months now, and are still extending the evacuation zone, all as a PRECAUTIONARY measure? I think your more and more extraordinary claims require more and more extraordinary evidence -- and yet you've not even provided a source for that supposed WHO statement that there was "no evidence of any significant release of radiation". After about 30 seconds of googling I come up with this:

The U.S. National Nuclear Safety Administration has produced a map (as part of a presentation) showing the estimated first-year, long-term radiation dose in and around the Fukushima nuclear plant. âoeIn the red swath of land northwest of the plant where weather deposited a lot of fallout, potential exposures exceed 2000 millirems/year. That is the level at which the U.S. Department of Homeland Security would consider relocating the public,â says ScienceInsider. âoeAlthough 2000 millirems over 1 year isnâ(TM)t an immediate health threat, itâ(TM)s enough to cause roughly one extra cancer case in 500 young adults and one case in 100 1-year-olds.â

Another report (also by the NNSA) talks about up to 20 or so mRem/h a week after the incident.

Now, we might discuss whether 1 cancer case per 500 young adults and year is or isn't a lot, but this all sounds like a bit more than "no significant release of radiation" to me.
