Fukushima Prefecture disaster situation – Evacuation
The number of evacuees peaked in May 2012 at 164,865 and has since decreased, but as of July 2019 roughly 42 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.

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

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 hasreceived 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.
Along with the progress of revitalization, vehicles
coming into and going out from the disaster-affectedareas are increasing. The police is conducting multipurpose inspections on major
highways to raise corporate
and general drivers'
awareness for traffic safety.

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.

For the transportation of removed soil into the interim storage facility, about the
total of 333,000㎥ was transferred from March, 2015 when the transportation
started to the end of June, 2019, 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 , 4 mil. ㎥ is expected to be transported into the Interim
storage facility.
To this end, as of the end of June, 2019, about 1,118 ha of land was acquired anddevelopment 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,
Okuma and Futaba Town. The results of the environmental monitoring are
released on the internet.

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.

Data: Consumer Affairs Agency(Govt. of Japan)◆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 Jun 30, 2019]the fisheries cooperative associatio

The Nihonbashi
Fukushima specialty
shop MIDETTE in Tokyo
has attracted 2 million
people!
The number of visitors to MIDETTE reached 2
million in June 18, 2019. Since its opening on
April 12, 2014, it has not just been a place forselling a variety of Fukushima specialty
products such as sake, confectioneries, fruits
and folk crafts but also spreads information
about the charms of Fukushima Prefecture.
We are striving to make the shop more
attractive in order to attract more customers
and continue to raise awareness about thevarious seasonal tourist attractions and thecurrent status of Fukushima's moves towards
revitalization to people living in themetropolitan area.

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 (※)
Fukushima

Shipment values in 2017 increased by 2.5% on the previous
year, exceeding the benchmark set before the disaster(2010). This increase is due to various thriving industries
including manufacturing of general‐purpose machinery,
production machinery, electronics parts, devices andelectronics circuits. However, Futaba County which was
evacuated due to the nuclear disaster has remained at 20%of the pre‐disaster shipment values since the disaster in
2011.
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.
