Fukushima Prefecture disaster situation – Evacuation
The number of evacuees peaked in May 2012 at 164,865 and has since decreased, but as of Jul 2020 roughly 37 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.

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 2020.6.30】◆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
residents’ 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
and changing circumstances
surrounding the affectedareas, the prefectural
government continues towork closely with

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.

Prefecture and games to commencewith a softballmatch in the prefecture
The Fukushima Azuma Baseball
Stadium will host 6 softball games on
21 and 22 July, 2021 and 1 baseballgame on 28 July.
Through this event, the Fukushima
Prefectural Government will take theopportunity to show appreciation forthe support received from Japan andaround the world as well as show
how Fukushima is progressing
towards revitalization (in the wake ofthe disaster).

Sake made in Fukushima/ Fukushima Prefecture received awards
for 33 brands at the Annual Japan Sake Awards
Fukushima's sake has the top number of gold awards in Japan,
breaking its own records. Although the selection of the gold awards wascancelled this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, 33 brands from
Fukushima earned awards which marks a record since the disaster andshows again the recognition in the high quality of Fukushima sake.

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.

technology and lastly, strengthening the fostering of human resources who will lead the future. The project is working to attain selfsustaining and continuous industry growth through the creation of new industries and jobs, which will lead the reconstruction andrevitalization of the whole prefecture. This initiative was carried out in accordance with the amended Act on Special Measures for
Fukushima Reconstruction and Revitalization (promulgated and came into force on 19 May, 2017), and further promoted as a national
project.

Working towards the realization of the Fukushima Innovation Coast Framework◆There are 3 core pillars based on a blueprint drawn up on Dec. 9, 2019 for the developmentof industry with the Innovation Coast Framework.
1. A region where people can take on

2. Local companies are major players

any challenge■In order to encourage not only cutting-edge
companies but various local companies to actively
participate in the initiative, we will promote widearea cooperation between local businesses andincoming companies to the region.

■We aim to develop the coastal region to be a place
where new challenges are taken up in various fields.

3. Fostering human resources who willplay a major role in the initiative■We will foster innovators in the region andprofessionals who will support the industrial
cluster.
