Apps in GIS: Fukushima Evacuation Zones

For our second week of Natural Hazards we worked one making evacuation zones for the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant in the aftermath of the 2011 Tsunami. The zones created are in 3,7,15,30,40, and 50 mile increments. According to the data given there are no cities within 15 miles of the power plant, but I don't believe that means no one lives in that area. I would be interested to see the zones laid over some equivalent of census data.
