Tohoku Japan Earthquake, happened in March 11, 2011, causes great destruction to our supply system of crude oil and petroleum products, and produces great influence. As main road, refinery, oil-tank terminal and gas station are all destructed and no effective solutions are followed as soon as earthquake happened, supply system can not be guaranteed immediately. Some summary is made including our supply chain of petroleum products, supply and support system of petroleum products after earthquake, and transportation of petroleum products to refuges. Also analysis validation of transportation of gasoline and kerosene to evacuation sites are made.
