No they are not....Buried tanks are considered safer than above ground....and even those cannot be closer than 10'. (my other house is in Northern MN 18 miles from Canada and I have propane...I know the rules)
Using your "quick" lookup stats. If what you found is true, and he only has enough propane for 2 days of use then he is royally screwed!!! Think about it... In a major disaster that requires a generator to kick in do you really beleive someone's going to get a propane fill in 48hrs?!?!?!?!?
