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.

The Fukushima Prefectural Government is committed toassuring emergency medical services in Futaba district
through the opening the Futaba Medical Centreaffiliated hospital (FMCH). For the further enforcement ofemergency medical care in the district, operation of themulti-purpose medical helicopter started on October 29,
2018.

Helicopter interior

Use of the multi-purpose medical helicopter fortransportation of patients between medical institutes
located in the coastal region and medical institutions suchas Fukushima Medical University facilitates highly
expertized treatment of the patient. This service will
enable us to largely reduce emergency transportation
time and will also prevent the increase in severity of theailment while reducing the burden incurred duringtransportation.

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
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.

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 FY2021 In FY2019, 4 mil. ㎥ (1.8 mi. ㎥ in FY2018) is expected to
be transported 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
released on the internet.

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.

Fukushima Pride, GAP Fair
The prefectural government and JA Group Fukushima held
"Fukushima Pride, GAP Fair" at AEON Fukushima Store andYork BENIMARU Fukushima-Nishi Store on July 24, 2018 toraise awareness of GAP (Good Agricultural Practice formanagement of agricultural production process) whichguarantees safety and quality of agricultural produce in theprefecture.
The prefectural government and JA Group Fukushima madea commitment to promote GAP in May, 2017 in order toeradicate harmful rumors. They are committed to making
Fukushima No.1 in Japan for the number of GAP
certifications. The fair for the GAP-certificated agricultural
produce was the first one to take place in the prefecture.
Sales of peaches and tomatoes that acquired GAP
certification, greatly helped to promote the efforts for GAP.

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.

◆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)
Since April, 2015, no fish or shellfish have been observed to exceed the national standards of 100Bq/kg.
The Fishery Cooperative Association set voluntary standards [50Bq/kg], stricter than that of the national government for the national standard of “General foods[100Bq/kg] ” for catches to be sold through trial fishing, and conduct screening for radioactive substances.

Industrial promotion and creation of employment
The total shipment value for manufacturing products in 2016 dropped from the previous year due to a
decline in shipment amount declined from industries including chemical industries and information
telecommunication machinery manufacturers. Nevertheless, the level of shipment in all industries in
the prefecture has recovered to the pre-disaster level.
In order to continue development of local industries, we will continue to support the operation andresumption of small to medium-sized businesses 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 (※)
Nationally, the shipment value recovered to levels exceeding
the pre-disaster value observed in 2010. In 2014 Fukushima
Prefecture had almost recovered to the pre-disaster level, andthen slightly declined in 2015 compared to the previous year.
However, in spite of that, an increasing trend is ongoing.
On the other hand, since 2011 the shipment value in Futaba
County where residents were forced to evacuate due to the
nuclear power accident has remained down around 20% of predisaster level. We think it is necessary for us to further promote
revitalization in Futaba County and other evacuation-ordered
areas as well as the coastal area.
