I'd go elsewhere. The aftershocks are continuing, and are likely to, with the possibility that one or more of them will be a real doozy. Comms and transport links are strained (especially with having to shift a few hundred thousand survivors out of the worst-affected areas), energy supplies have been disrupted to the point that rolling blackouts are going on, and there's always the problem of one or more of the nuke plants going pear-shaped. I wouldn't count on a big improvement in the situation within the next couple of weeks.
