As of March 2021, 22 thousand disaster victims are evacuated. It is the responsibility of the Government, which has promoted the energy policy with nuclear power, to do our utmost to achieve the reconstruction and recovery of Fukushima while reflecting on and responding to the pain felt by the people affected by the accident at TEPCO’s Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power.

The evacuation order has been lifted on all regions except for the Restricted area. The number of evacuees and the size of the areas under the evacuation orders have declined by 70% compared with the initial figures. No matter how long it takes, with an awareness that it is the Government’s responsibility to lift the evacuation orders in the all Restricted area in the future and to reconstruct and revitalize the affected areas, the government proceeds with the improvement of living environment for lifting the evacuation order on the specified reconstruction and revitalization base areas. Also, for the areas outside the specified reconstruction and revitalization base areas, in the 2020s, the government will decontaminate the areas necessary for the return of residents and work to lift the evacuation orders, after carefully confirming each resident's intention to return, so that residents with the intention to return can do so.
