Abstract in brief

  • Disaster-related deaths in Fukushima Prefecture have risen to nearly 2000, mainly due to stress, exhaustion, and worsening health conditions caused by evacuation following the 2011 earthquake and nuclear accident.
  • Prolonged uncertainty and poor living conditions after evacuation continue to contribute to these deaths, with inadequate response measures during the transition from emergency to reconstruction phases.
  • It is important to learn from these experiences to better plan for future evacuations, especially in nuclear emergencies, to include radiological protection and address the social and health risks involved.]
