Japan will be no longer within a year or less. Their economy is already in shambles and will continue to deteriorate, and I firmly believe that their inability to contain Fukushima - combined with this most recent disaster (and it's impact on other plants) - will make the island largely uninhabitable very soon. Get ready for some REAL doom soon, as the impact of this WILL BE significant throughout the world (in more ways than one).

I have unfortunately been spot-on with similar predictions over the last 10 years or so (particularly relating to financial matters like the most recent US recession, and the Russian bond crisis in 1998), and truly hope I'm wrong this time; however, I don't think that will be the case.

That said, for those of you waiting to prepare, I'd say the time is finally right to take action if you hope to survive the coming crisis.
