Fukushima Prefecture Disaster Situation – Evacuation
Evacuees peaked in May, 2012 with 164,865, then gradually decreased. As of January, 2016, the number declined to
below 100,000, but still many people continue to evacuate. In 2015 June, the national government announced the goal
to lift evacuation orders for all areas excluding ‘Difficult-to-return zone’( color portion of the map). Efforts towards
the return of citizens are gradually beginning.

Fukushima has increased the age range for those eligible to received medical subsidies. This is part of an effort tosupport child-raising in the prefecture through creating an environment focused on child health, where it is easy togive birth to and raise children. As of October 2012, free medical care is provided to citizens aged 18 or younger.

Production values for the agricultural, forestry, and fishing industries have decreased since 3.11. The
prefecture is putting the upmost effort into a variety of activities to revitalize the agricultural, forestry, andfishery industries, which will in turn contribute to helping rebuild the livelihoods of disaster‐affected citizens.
Activities include PR campaigns introducing delicious Fukushima products along with the systems in place toensure food security and safety.

Expo Milano held last year was particularly popular as an exposition of food from throughout
the world. Fukushima Prefecture hosted 'Fukushima Week' from 11 to 14 of October 2015 andworked together with students from the University of Milan to promote the varied food culture of
Fukushima, and the safety of Fukushima's food products to the world.

Food safety and security efforts
In order to ensure that no food products containing radioactive materials over the safety standard reach themarket, the prefecture has conducted decontamination work for farmland, and strengthened the inspection
system in place for safety confirmation. All rice produced in Fukushima undergoes inspection, as it is a staple of
the Japanese diet. Labels are placed on rice bags to show that they have been met safety standards.
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.

Fukushima Destination Campaign (DC) took place between April and June, 2015, when the inbound tourists recovered
to 90 % of the pre-disaster number according to the quick estimation. Fukushima tourism campaign 2016 (After DC) ,"A Happy Island filled with Blossoms of Happiness "is underway between April and June, 2016. We are committed tostabilizing the achievements from Fukushima DC, including hospitality by all residents in unity, development ofregionally driven tourism networks and improvement of tourism resources, and continue to promote tourism.

After the disaster the number of offices has shown a declining trend. According to the industrial
production index which indicates the production situation for the manufacturing industry, levels have notyet recovered to pre-disaster conditions. There have also been employment mismatches occurring,depending on the type of occupation.
For the sustainable development of Fukushima industries, the prefecture will provide proactive support forthe continuation and resumption of small and medium sized companies, which are the core of the regional
economy. In addition, there are also efforts in place to secure employment opportunities, including
attracting business investment within the prefecture.

Industrial production index（seasonally adjusted）◆ IP index transited around 90 from 2011 to 2015
based on the index of 100 for 2010, not showing therecovery to the pre-disaster level. Particularly,
slowdown is apparent in the transportation machineryindustry, electronics parts, device, machinery industry.

Basic concepts of the Revitalization Plan and FY2016 Budget
5 years on from the Great East Japan Earthquake and the nuclear accident, and situations onrevitalization of the prefecture are changing with rearrangement of evacuation areas and lifting of
evacuation order to some municipalities. in line with such change, the prefecture formulated
Revitalization Plan (the 3rd edition) on December 25, based on opinions from citizens andmunicipalities for implementation of projects required for revitalization.

RevitalizationPlan

We will promote revitalization of Fukushima by addressing 10 priority projects.

Fiscal Year 2016 initial budget is 2nd largest following the FY2015 initial budget which marked record highin the prefectural administration. The FY 2016 is an important year to step out for a new stage in order to
検索form the future of the prefecture and steadily achieve revitalization. We will address "Revitalization Plan
(3rd edition)" revised at the end of the last year and "Fukushima Comprehensive Strategy for
Revitalization" to control depopulation for revitalization, rehabilitation and regional creation.
