Bias read (Center): The article presents information about policy changes related to public safety in disaster preparedness without overtly favoring any particular political ideology. It focuses on factual developments and does not include commentary or emphasis that would suggest a clear ideological leaning.

Why these scores (Factual 85 · Objective 90): Factual based on common knowledge of recent earthquakes in Japan and typical government responses. Objectively reports the policy change without bias.
