Taking care of evacuees
283 life support counsellors have been assigned
to social welfare councils in 28 municipalities
throughout the prefecture (as of October, 2015). In
addition to taking careof elderly and preventing
isolation, they are also
actively involved in working
to help with relieving
residents’ health worries(including fears about
radiation) rebuild livelihoods,
and risk communication.

Agricultural High School developed the ‘Pear 48 series’
using locally produced pears. The new school building
was completed, replacing the prefab school building
and practical study building that were used after thedisaster.

The prefecture has implemented the ‘Fukushima Health Management Survey’ in order to protect thephysical and mental health of citizens, and maintain and improve health in Fukushima into the future.
The survey includes the estimation of citizens’ radiation exposure and thyroid examinations.
Fukushima Health Survey

Basic survey

Citizens residing in the prefecture as of March 11, 2011 (2,055,320 persons)Self-administered questionnaires: 27.2%（As of June 30,2015）（558,550 respondents against 2,055,320 subjects）

Thyroid gland inspections＜Results of estimate on external exposure dose＞【All citizens surveyed】 Ratio of dose from 0 to 2mSv accounts for 93.8% of all.
※Estimate of external exposure dose for the 4 months from the nuclear accident (March-July2011)

Citizens aged 18 or younger at the time of the disaster (About 380,000 persons)＜Full-scale inspection＞（starting FY2014）＜Primary inspections＞（FY2011 to FY2013）

The second inspection for the comparison withthe primary inspection. The subjects will
include infants born till April 1, 2012. The
inspection will be conducted every 2 years withthe subjects to the age of 20, and after 20 it willtake place every 5 years.

Fukushima has increased the age range for those eligible to received medical subsidies. This is part of an effort to support child-raising in theprefecture through creating an environment focused on child health, where it is easy to give 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.

Public relations for products that primary industries produced in the prefecture
In order to restore the reputation of Fukushima’s primary industry products, the prefecture is carrying out a variety of PR
activities to appeal a wide variety of delicious products that are safe and secure.

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

The hall located in Tokyo is hard at work holding avariety of events to show the rest of the world thecurrent Fukushima, including recovery progress, thesafety and security of Fukushima products, and themany attractions Fukushima has to offer.

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.

Tourism Industry Recovery
A tourism campaign known as the Fukushima Destination Campaign(Fukushima DC) was held from April - June 2015.
Preliminary figures show that the number of tourists recovered to roughly 90% of numbers seen before the disaster.
In order to maintain the results established as part of the Fukushima DC the prefecture is planning on focusing on
uniting the prefecture to provide famous Japanese hospitality to visitors, establishing frameworks for the acceptance of
tourists in each area, and creating new tourism resources.

Industrial promotion and creation of employment
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

Change of the numbers of offices by industries◆ IP index transited around 90 from 2011 to2014 based on the index of 100 for 2012, notshowing the recovery to the pre-disaster level.
Particularly, slowdown is apparent in thetransportation machinery industry, electronics

For the revitalization and recovery of Fukushima, it is necessary not just to restore things to how they
were before the disaster, but create new, leading enterprises. Revitalization of the prefecture iscurrently being propelled by the development of hubs for R&D and industrial creation in a wide
variety of fields.

Fukushima has a target to produce enoughrenewable energy to supply 100% of theenergy demand in the prefecture by 2040.
This will be achieved by increasing renewableenergy adoption, and building hubs throughthe clustering and development of relevant
industries.
