The city is already gone and if what's been said about Japan sinking is true, then there's absolutely nothing that can be done to fix that anytime soon.
Right now there are reactors that are threatening to blow their stacks - one has even partially melted down. This is not an issue that goes away if you ignore it (in fact, it only gets worse if you do). The worst can be mitigated, or even outright avoided, but only if you start throwing the right sort of resources at the issue. Portable industrial generators or pumps would have done wonders after the first eight hours. The instant the word got out that the cooling system failed, someone, anyone, should have done something. I know that there are companies in Japan that lease these things out - that would have been a huge boon to their advertising campaign: "The generator that saved Fukushima can be yours!"
Honestly, there is something wrong here. Had something similar happened off the coast of California you can bet that FEMA would be all over it like flies on shit. But apparently, despite all the preparedness and drills they have, they are lacking in something that resembles FEMA.
