Disaster status in Fukushima Prefecture②（Situation of evacuation）
Evacuees of the prefecture numbered 116,284 as of March 2015, down from 164,865 recorded in
May 2012, showing a gradual increase in the number of returnees. Yet, still many citizens remain
forced to evacuate from their hometown. Currently, there are about 69,000 evacuees residing inside
the prefecture, and evacuees outside the prefecture are estimated to be about 47,000.
Areas to which evacuation orders havebeen issued in the wake of nuclear disaster

Areas where it is expected that
residents will face difficulties
in returning for a long time

Area where the radiation levels are so high that protective measures
including installation of barricades are taken, and citizens are forced toevacuate.

<March 11, 2011>

Areas in which residents are
not permitted to live

Areas where decontamination work is being implemented and infrastructurein urgent need of restoration is intended to be restored so that citizens will
be able to return and rebuild their community in the future.

Areas to which evacuation
orders are ready to be lifted

Area where support measures for restoration and revitalization are quickly
implemented and the environment is intended to be improved so thatcitizens can return.

◆Evacuation order was issued for 3 km radius zone

from the Daiichi NPS.

◆On the same day, indoor evacuation was issued

for 10 km radius zone.

Reconstruction of the livelihood of disaster-affected citizens
We have developed plans to build “Public housing for revitalization” in order to stabilize residency ofevacuees and disaster-affected citizens. In terms of building the public housings for nuclear disasterevacuees, the prefectural government takes initiatives in building 4,890 housings in total.

people and supporting evacuees living in temporary housing units. （As of April 1,2015）【Provision of information to evacuees】
We send public information magazines and digest versions of local papers to evacuees as well as publish “The paper featuring the current
Fukushima” that include information of measures for revitalization of the prefecture, exchange sessions and other support activities. They
are offered in cooperation with municipalities and NPOs located in and out of the prefecture.

【Implementation of a free expressway service】
We extended the term for the free expressway service for evacuees from evacuation areas and voluntary mother-child evacuees, to March
31, 2016.

Environmental restoration
Air radiation doses in the prefecture have sharply decreased compared with April, 2011.
Regarding the progress of decontamination, steady progress is expected on the grounds that theorder placements for decontamination of housing are getting on track.

As export of sludge was delayed due to the disaster, storage amount increased in the warehouse.

Interim Storage facility◆Transportation of excavated soil and other wastes into the Interim Storage Facility started. (March 13, 2015)
Pilot transportation of excavated soil and other wastes into the Interim Storage Facility started. A large volume of soil andwaste generated from decontamination work is still kept in temporary storage sites and housing premises and school yards inFukushima Prefecture. It is a pressing issue for us to remove them at the earliest possible time for restoration andrevitalization of Fukushima. Ahead of full-scale transportation for a large volume of excavated soil and other waste, the pilot
transportation will be implemented for about one year by confirming and verifying each process related to removal,transportation and unloading work to secure safe and reliable transportation.

Situation of the agricultural, forestry and fishery industries
Production volume of the agricultural, forestry and fishery industries was sharply declined by thedisaster. order to help reconstruct disaster-affected citizens’ livelihoods, we have been making theutmost efforts to proceed measures for the rehabilitation and to promote measures for disseminationof attractions as well as the safety and security of the products.

Public relations for products that primary industries produced in the prefecture
We are conducting PR activities to promote the attractions, safety and security of primary industry products in order to dispel
harmful rumors.

‘Challenge Fukushima’: sales promotion of primary industry’s products
We release information about attractions of Fukushima’s rich nature and its blessings , andalso safety managements in Fukushima through various media and seminars. This year, we arein EXPO MILANO 2015 Japan Pavilion to convey a real New Fukushima to overseas.

Fukushima Hall "MIDETTE" at Nihonbashi
We operates MIDETTE in Nihonbashi, in the center ofTokyo as a base station of Fukushima information toward
the metropolitan area , in order to dispel harmful rumors
and recover the image of the prefecture .

Measures for food safety and security
In order to prevent food containing radioactive materials over the standards from distributing in the market, we haveintensified an inspection system as well as decontaminating farmland to confirm the safety. Particularly, for rice which
is a staple food for us, we inspect all rice grains in all bags being produced and shipped in the whole area of theprefecture. The rice bags that satisfied the standards have labels of inspection certificate on them. Furthermore, we
instruct inspection technology on the voluntary inspection being held by the fishery cooperative association to safely
distribute sea food caught in the test fishing. Also, we consult with producers and distributors concerning
establishment of effective inspection system.

Some fish species were confirmed to be safe after monitoring 20,000 or more items. They are conducting
test fishing on those fish species. As of January 28, 2015, 58 species were set out for the test fishing.

MOU Pref. Governor andDanish Ambassador

Fukushima Prefectural Government has concluded MOU with
the Ministry of Environment in NRW State (Nordrhein-Westfalen , Germany)and Embassy of Denmark for collaboration in the fields of renewable energy
and energy saving. By utilizing advanced findings in both regions related tothese fields, we will make efforts to adapt renewables and accumulate relatedindustry in the prefecture.

The prefecture upholds a target to produce
renewable energy to cover 100 % of energy
demand in the prefecture by 2040. For that,
we will increase adoption of renewableenergies as well as cluster and grow relevant
industries by developing hubs.

The Fukushima Declaration
We have received immeasurable support from people around the nation and the world.
This heartfelt support has greatly helped, inspired, and encouraged the people of Fukushima.
I would like to express my sincere appreciation once again to all our friends.
Thanks to this support and the efforts of the people of Fukushima, we are finally starting to see the firstsigns of reconstruction in our prefecture too.
I want to see all of us work together and raise these small sprouts into strong plants with our own hands.
Once these sprouts have grown into large trees, I would like to see children gather under them with smilesof delight on their faces.
That is the kind of vibrant Fukushima I would like to create.

1. We will create once again a beautiful Fukushima.
2. We will build a dynamic and vibrant Fukushima.
3. We will show the world and pass down to future generations Fukushima’s
reconstruction process.

Concept contained in the slogan "Future From Fukushima"
Let each one of us start to step forward toward the revitalization!
And, let new movements start from Fukushima!
Fukushima is fully determined to recover from the great disasterand the nuclear disaster no matter how hard it is.
The process of revitalizing Fukushima will show that it is possible tocreate a brand new society.
We want to make new waves from Fukushima.
The slogan, "Future From Fukushima” will carry our strong will
toward a brighter and more promising future.
