Fukushima Prefecture disaster situation – Earthquake and tsunami damage
The Great East Japan Earthquake occurred on March 11, 2011. Centered off the Sanriku
coast in North Eastern Japan, its magnitude was a record high of M9.0, measuring a 7 on the
JMA seismic intensity scale. It caused serious damage to the entire Prefecture with heavy
shaking and a large tsunami that struck a wide area along the coast.

Nuclear disaster■Nuclear power station accident
The earthquake caused the loss of the external power supplies at
TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. The subsequenttsunami disabled emergency power supplies, which led to a loss ofthe cooling functions for Units 1 to 3 reactors. Because of this, fuelIwaki City: Levee

residents were forced to evacuate. Fukushima suffered damage
from the halt of shipping and production due to contaminated farm
products, farm land, sea food and materials, and from harmful
rumors including a decrease in market prices of Fukushima's
products and a huge drop in the number of tourists.

Fukushima Prefecture disaster situation – Evacuation
The number of evacuees peaked in May 2012 at 164,865 and has since decreased, and roughly over 36 thousandpeople are currently under evacuation. The evacuation orders issued to the evacuation-designated zones have
gradually been lifted. Additionally, reconstruction and revitalization in the Difficult-to-Return zones have steadily been
progressing based on the Plans for Reconstruction and Revitalization for Special Zones.

Reconstruction of the livelihood of disaster-affected citizens
The prefectural government is working to create an environment where evacuees can returnhome 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.

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

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 】
For nuclear disaster evacuees 4,767 units
completed/4,890 units planned
For returnees 564units completed/688 units completed
For earthquake and tsunami
affected people
All 2,807 units completed

Futaba Medical Center-affiliated hospital operates as asecondary emergency medical facility in Futaba district accepting
patients 24/7, 365 days a year (including on public holidays).
It also provides medical services required in communities
including home-visit caregiving in order to support anenvironment where residents and people engaged inrevitalization-related projects can live and work with peace ofmind, 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 capable of providing highly expertized treatment.

Police activities to protect the safety ofaffected people◆Thorough support for evacuees

After the disaster, Fukushima Prefecture has received support frommany police officers around Japan.
The police nicknamed "Ultra Police Force" have continued efforts
to protect evacuees and ensure their safety, including patrols of thedisaster affected areas, providing information for residents in thetemporary housing units and disaster public housing, prevention ofcrimes in collaboration with the national government, municipalities
and volunteers and measures against traffic accidents.

Counselors
177 life support counsellors have been assigned tosocial 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.

■With the partial lifting of evacuation orders in Okuma Town, atemporary Okuma police substation was opened and free transit
along Route 35 was resumed to ensure development of therevitalization hub which is carried out in a safe and secure manner.
The prefectural government is increasing security in the area
including patrols to prevent crimes and accidents.

Community Communications Coordinator
The prefectural government allocates Community Communications
Coordinators to areas with revitalization public housing in order to build andsupport those communities. The Community Communications Coordinators
support exchange activities between tenants of revitalization public housing andlocal residents by planning and carrying out exchange activities while establishingneighborhood associations and creating opportunities for community dialogue.

■In order to steadily cope with
rapid progress of ongoing
revitalization efforts and changing
circumstances surrounding theaffected areas, the prefectural
government continues to work
closely with municipalities for thesafety and security of its
residents.

products attractive, promote branding as well as to ensure food security and safety.

Farming resumption situation■With the completion of decontamination of farmland except for the Difficult-to-return Zone, resumption of farming is progressing.
Even in 12 municipalities where evacuation orders had been issued, efforts are underway to resume farming such as restoring
farmland and agricultural facilities, having the farmland decontaminated and demonstrating the planting of crops as well as
reducing the uptake of radioactive substances by crops. As a result, the area resumed for farming has been restored to 32%.
■Efforts are being made for labour-saving agriculture that uses
advanced technologies and for the introduction of new items offlowers and vegetables. Also, fish markets in fishing ports haveresumed and trial fishing operations have been expanded. This
demonstrates that Fukushima's agricultural, forestry, andSmartfisheries industries have been making steady progress towards agriculture:revitalization.

Food safety and security efforts◆Monitoring of Fukushima's agricultural, forestry and fishery products
Fukushima’s primary products undergo monitoring inspection before being shipped. Any product that is found to exceed the safety standard isbanned from being shipped based on the product type and produced area. Products being distributed are confirmed to be safe.

◆Rice inspections 【Rice harvested in FY2020: Shifting to monitoring inspections】■With regards to rice, which is our staple food, Fukushima Prefecture had been carrying out blanket screening on rice produced in and shipped fromthe Prefecture. As there have been no samples found over the standard limit for 5 years since 2015, the testing has been shifted to monitoring
inspections on rice harvested in FY2020 except for the 12 municipalities where evacuation orders had been issued.
■For the 12 municipalities where evacuation orders had been issued, inspection of all rice (grains) in all rice bags for radioactive substances willcontinue in areas where resumption of farming has not yet progressed or where there are newly planted rice paddies after the disaster.

Municipalities which continue testing on rice (grains) in all rice bags:
Tamura City, Minami-Soma City, Hirono Town, Naraha Town, Tomioka Town, Kawauchi Village, Okuma Town, Futaba Town, Namie Town, Katsurao Village,
Iidate Village, Kawamata Town (former Yamakiya Village)■The Fukushima Prefectural Government will work to ensure the safety of Fukushima rice with measures such as reducing the absorption ofradioactive substances by crops and reliably preventing secondary contamination from foreign materials.

*All of the shipping restriction orders have been lifted for fish caught off the coast of Fukushima.

◆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 60 thousand items tested during
monitoring inspections.
■ Fishing cooperatives have been conducting inspections for radioactive substances in marine products obtained
through trial fishing operations based on voluntary set standards of 50 Bq/kg, stricter than the government
threshold of 100 Bq/kg to make sure no samples exceeding the limit will be distributed to the market.

◆Demonstrations in planting crops to resume farming■ Shipping restrictions are still in place for horticultural crops in some areas. Fukushima
Prefecture is implementing demonstrations in planting spinach, broccoli, turnips, etc. towards
the lifting of these restrictions. These initiatives are underway in Futaba Town this fiscal year.

■ While restrictions were not lifted last fiscal year due to the damage caused by Typhoon
Hagibis, crops were still harvested this fiscal year without any problems.

Industrial promotion and creation of employment
Levels in shipment values of products, both nationwide and of Fukushima Prefecture, recovered
to exceed the pre-disaster levels. We will continue to support the operation and resumption ofsmall 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 (※)
・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.

The Fukushima Innovation Coast Framework
The Fukushima Innovation Coast Framework is a national project that aims to revitalize industries in the coastal region affectedby the Great East Japan Earthquake and the nuclear disaster through the establishment of a new industrial base in the region.
Based on the 3 core pillars, "A region where people can take on any challenge", "Local companies are major players", "Fostering
human resources who will play a major role in the initiative", the project is being put into shape in the coastal region in the priority
fields of decommissioning, robotics, drones, energy, environment, recycling, agriculture, forestry and fisheries, and healthcarerelated industries as well as aerospace industries. It also includes various infrastructure development initiatives to achieve theseplans, such as clustering of industries, fostering human resources, increasing people visiting the region, spreading information, andre-establishing the living environment.

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.

On Aug 28, Vice Governor Ide promoted
Fukushima peaches at Don Don Donki Thonglor,a PPIH Group’s Don Quijote outlet which was
opened in February in Bangkok, Thailand.
Peaches from Japan are a popular summer
fruit at the store. The store shifted frompeaches produced in other prefectures to
Fukushima peaches to cater to the local
preference for firm peaches. As a result, sales
have improved with many customers constantly
buying the fruit over the weekend.

tons this year as sales continue until the end of
September when the last batch of shipments forthis season arrive by sea.
Exports of pears, grapes, apples andpersimmons are scheduled there after.
