Fukushima Prefecture disaster situation – Evacuation
The number of evacuees peaked in May 2012 at 164,865 and has since decreased, but as of July 2018
roughly 43 thousand people are still under evacuation. Most of the evacuation orders issued to theevacuation-designated zones (excluding the Difficult-to-Return zones) have been lifted.
Additionally, the Difficult-to-Return zones have been recognized in the Plans for Reconstruction andRevitalization for Special Zones. Accordingly, reconstruction and revitalization in the evacuation-designatedzones are already showing steady progress with remediation and construction underway.

In addition to taking care of elderly and preventing isolation,
they are also actively involved in working to help with relieving
residents’ health worries.

Police activities to protect the safety ofaffected people

Community Communications Coordinator
The prefectural government allocates Community Communications Coordinators to areas withrevitalization public housing in order to build and support those communities. The Community
Communications Coordinators support exchange activities between tenants of revitalization
public housing and local residents by planning and carrying out exchange activities while
establishing neighborhood associations and creating opportunities for community dialogue.

After the disaster, support was received from police
officers all around the country. Police have continued
efforts to protect evacuees and ensure their safety,
including patrols of the disaster affected areas.
Along with the progress of revitalization, vehicles
coming into and going out from the disaster-affectedareas are increasing. The prefectural government isconducting multi-purpose inspections on major highways
to raise corporate and general drivers' awareness for
traffic safety.

Support base for elderly people
実施。
Since manyof tenants in the temporary housing units are elderly, the prefectural
government established a Support Base for Elderly People out of concern to prevent
their isolation and support them by providing opportunities for them to consult withcounselors about personal problems in daily life, communicate with others and takehealth care classes.

Decontamination

Decontamination of prefectural land has been completed in all areas except for the Difficult-to-return zone.

◆The need for decontamination
Radiation doses decrease naturally overtime and from the effects of natural phenomena, such as
wind and rainfall. However this process can take a long time. Therefore, the Prefectural
Government began carrying out decontamination efforts in order to lower radiation doses andreduce the impact on communities and on the health of residents at the earliest possible time.

Area the national
government
conducts
decontamination( 11 municipalities.)◆Effects of decontamination

Area eachmunicipalities conducts
decontamination

When averages of air radiation dose rates were compared for
before and after decontamination work in the Intensive
Contamination Survey Area carried out by local municipalities, it was
found that radiation levels were reduced by 42% in residential areas,by 55% at schools and parks and by 21% in forests. This shows theeffectiveness of lowering radiation levels through environmental
decontamination work.

Facility

For the transportation of removed soil into the interim storage facility, about the
total of 886,000㎥ was transferred from March, 2015 when the transportation
started to late November, 2018, and transportation for 23 municipalities out ofintended 52 has been completed.
A plan has been announced to direct completion of transporting most of theremoved soil that is temporarily located within the prefecture into the interim
storage facility by 2021 In 2019, 4 mil. ㎥ (1.8 mi. ㎥ in 2018) is expected to betransported into the Interim storage facility.
To this end, as of the end of November, 2018, about 1,060 ha of land was acquired
and development of the soil storage facility is underway.
The prefectural government inspects the sites and conducts environmental
monitoring in order to ensure safety and security. These activities are based on thesafety agreement between the national government, the prefectural government,
Tomioka and Naraha Town. The results of the environmental monitoring are

Changes in exports of agricultural and fisheries products from Fukushima◆Reached a record high in FY 2017
Immediately after the disaster export volumes dropped by about 90% . In spite of that,
our efforts for safety and confidence recovery within the prefecture and recognition of
product quality has lead to a steady increase in export volumes to South East Asia.

Raising awareness in Hong Kong with aseminar about Fukushima Today
On January 25, 2019 a seminar aimed at raising awareness about
Fukushima Today was held by the prefectural government in Hong
Kong (which has import restrictions on Fukushima products). At theseminar, the Governor of Fukushima gave a presentation focusing on
the current situation of Fukushima's revitalization, the safety anddeliciousness of it's agricultural, forestry and fisheries products, andthe variety of it's tourist attractions. In attendance were 49 people fromlocal media (representing 37 companies). In the latter half, a talksession was held with a TV personality living in Hong Kong, where theysampled prefectural products made using Fukushima ingredients suchas, 100% peach juice, and sushi made with Ten-no-tsubu rice,
showcasing the prefecture's appeal. The prefectural government
makes a commitment to combating harmful rumors by raisingawareness around the world about Fukushima Prefecture throughsocial media and videos in multiple languages.

The Consulate-General of Japan inHong Kong, Ambassador Wada anda TV personality living in Hong
Kong participated in the seminar.

Food safety and security efforts
In order to prevent distribution of food products containing radioactive substances exceeding the safety
standard set by the government, farms have been decontaminated. Alongside this, the inspection system isbeing strengthened to ensure food safety. In particular every bag containing locally produced rice is required
to undergo inspection before shipping.
In order to ensure the safe distribution of marine products obtained through trial fishing operations, theprefectures offers guidance to fishery cooperatives in regards to inspection technology, and are working withproducers and distributors to establish an efficient inspection system.

Data: Consumer Affairs Agency(Govt. of Japan)*Voluntary inspections by the fisheries cooperative association screened out a sample exceeding the standard limits (100Bq/kg)◆Trial Fishing conducted by the fishing industry

Fishermen in Fukushima Prefecture were forced to place a ban on coastal and trawl fishing; however the safety of certain species of fish has been confirmed based on over 50
thousand items tested during monitoring inspections. (As of 2018, all fish and shellfish except for 7 fish species are under shipment restriction)
On January 31, 2019, ocellate spot skate (at type of ray fish), caught as one of the samples for trial fishing was found to contain radioactive cesium exceeding the standard limits
set by the national government. Following the results, the fisheries cooperative association suspended the shipment of the ocellate spot skate before it was distributed. This was
thanks to the strict and thorough monitoring and distribution system that is in place. The prefectural government will continue to conduct monitoring inspection to secure thesafety of marine products produced by the prefecture as well as publicize information on the safety of prefectural marine products including the system of voluntary inspections by[As of Feb 28, 2019]the fisheries cooperative associatio
