Fukushima Prefecture disaster situation – Evacuation
The number of evacuees peaked in May 2012 at 164,865 and has since decreased, but as of Dec 2019 roughly 41 thousandpeople are still under evacuation. Most of the evacuation orders issued to the evacuation-designated zones (excluding theDifficult-to-Return zones) have been lifted. Additionally, the Difficult-to-Return zones have been recognized in the Plans for
Reconstruction and Revitalization for Special Zones. Accordingly, reconstruction and revitalization in the evacuation-designatedzones are already showing steady progress with remediation and construction underway.

Reconstruction of the livelihood of disaster-affected citizens
The prefectural government is working to create an environment
where evacuees can return home with peace of mind by
establishing medical and caregiving services, as well as, housing
and shopping facilities.

Reconstruction of housing environment
Construction of Revitalization
Public Housing, etc.
The prefectural government is continuing to build Revitalization Public Housing in orderto provide evacuees and those affected by the disaster with housing stability. In thewake of the nuclear power station accident, the prefectural government is taking theinitiative for this project, and is planning to construct a total of 4,890 housing units.

【 Progress of business investment by municipality 】

Futaba Medical Center-affiliatedHospital was opened in April,
2018.

Futaba Medical Center-affiliated hospital operates
as a secondary emergency medical facility in Futaba
district accepting patients 24/7, 365 days a year(including on public holidays).
It also provides medical services required incommunities including home-visit caregiving in orderto support an environment where residents andpeople engaged in revitalization-related projects canlive and work with peace of mind, from the aspect of
medical services. In October, 2018, a multi-purpose
medical helicopter started operation.
The operation allows us to transport patients
between a medical institution in the coastal region
and Fukushima Medical University which is capableof providing highly expertized treatment.

Police activities to protect thesafety of affected people【As of 2019.10.31】◆Thorough support for evacuees■Counselors

177 life support counsellors have been assigned to social
welfare councils in 22 municipalities throughout the prefecture(as of 2019.6.1)
In addition to taking care of elderly and preventing isolation,
they are also actively involved in working to help with relieving
residentsʼ health worries.

■Community Communications Coordinator

The prefectural government allocates Community Communications Coordinators toareas with revitalization public housing in order to build and support thosecommunities. The Community Communications Coordinators support exchange
activities between tenants of revitalization public housing and local residents byplanning and carrying out exchange activities while establishing neighborhood
associations and creating opportunities for community dialogue.

■Support base for elderly people

Since many of tenants in the temporary housing units are
elderly, the prefectural government established a Support Basefor Elderly People out of concern to prevent their isolation andsupport them by providing opportunities for them to consult
with counselors about personal problems in daily life,
communicate with others and take health care classes.

After the disaster, Fukushima Prefecture has received
support from many police officers around Japan.
The police nicknamed "Ultra Police Force" havecontinued efforts to protect evacuees and ensure theirsafety, including patrols of the disaster affected areas,
providing information for residents in the temporary
housing units and disaster public housing, preventionof crimes in collaboration with the national
government, municipalities and volunteers andmeasures against traffic accidents. With the partial
lifting of evacuation orders in Okuma Town, atemporary Okuma police substation was opened andfree transit along Route 35 was resumed to ensure
development of the revitalization hub which is carriedout in a safe and secure manner. The prefectural
government is increasing security in the area
including patrols to prevent crimes and accidents.
■In order to steadily copewith rapid progress ofongoing revitalization efforts

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 and reduce the impact oncommunities and on the health of residents at the earliest possible time.

Area the national
government conducts
decontamination(11 municipalities.)◆Effects of decontamination
When averages of air radiation dose rates were compared for before andafter decontamination work in the Intensive Contamination Survey Area
carried out by local municipalities, it was found that radiation levels werereduced by 42% in residential areas, by 55% at schools and parks and by
21% in forests. This shows the effectiveness of lowering radiation levels
through environmental decontamination work.

2011. The prefecture is putting the upmost effort into a variety of activities to revitalize the agricultural, forestry,
and fisheries industries, which will in turn contribute to helping rebuild the livelihoods of disaster-affected citizens.
Activities include PR campaigns introducing qualities of Fukushima products along with the systems in place toensure food security and safety.

Sales promotion of Fukushima
farm products◆Promotion of Fukushima through inbound tourism■As part of our efforts to improve the perception of food from theprefecture and expand sales channels, the prefecture has been
carrying out food promotion campaigns in Tokyo where many people
visit from abroad. Visitors are encouraged to try food from Fukushima
and send out their impressions to the world.
■This year, we are working with two fruit specialty restaurants,
Shinjuku Takano which was established 134 years ago, and Futaba
Fruits Parlor, a casual style fruit shop. Where through sweets fairs
visitors can try out desserts and parfaits made using fruit from
Fukushima. The campaigns have been successful in attracting many
visitors including foreign tourists. Parfaits using lots of peaches from

Food safety and security efforts
In order to prevent distribution of food products containing radioactive substances exceeding the safety standard set by thegovernment, farms have been decontaminated. Alongside this, the inspection system is being strengthened to ensure foodsafety. 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, the prefectures offers
guidance to fishery cooperatives in regards to inspection technology, and are working with producers and distributors toestablish an efficient inspection system.

Industrial promotion and creation of employment
When seeing changes in shipment values of products, levels both nationwide and of Fukushima
Prefecture recovered to exceed the pre-disaster levels. In order to continue development of local
industries, we will continue to support the operation and resumption of small to medium-sizedbusinesses which form the core of regional economies, as well as secure employment opportunities
through the promotion of company investment into the prefecture.

Changes in the shipment value of products (※)
・Shipment values in 2017 increased by 2.5% on the previous year, exceeding the benchmark set before the disaster (2010). However,Futaba County has remained at 20% of the pre-disaster shipment values since the disaster in 2011. We think it is necessary for us tofurther promote revitalization in the evacuation-ordered areas as well as the coastal region.
