JAPAN'S RECONSTRUCTION AGENCY UNVEILS PORTAL SITE DISSEMINATING FUKUSHIMA INFO UPDATE

KUALA LUMPUR, March 4 (Bernama) -- The Reconstruction Agency, a government agency overseeing work on recovery from the Great East Japan Earthquake, has opened a portal site titled ‘Fukushima Updates’.

This is to accurately and clearly send out information in English, simplified and traditional Chinese, Korean, and Japanese regarding questions and concerns that people, mainly overseas, have over the safety of Fukushima and Japan.

According to a statement, the portal site is intended to be a forefront tool to disseminate the latest information on Fukushima through concerted efforts by government organisations concerned, including updates.

The website responds in a Q&A format to questions and concerns that mainly overseas people have over the current situation of Fukushima, the safety of Japanese food products and the disaster-hit TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station.

Frequently-asked questions are listed by item to meet the needs of both people who wish to obtain overall information and those who prefer to access information on specific matters of their interest.

Other contents in the website include ‘Fukushima Now’, which introduces information on the safety of agriculture, forestry and fishery products from Fukushima and radiation levels through pamphlets and graphs.

High-definition photos showing beautiful scenery unique to Fukushima are also available. The images can be downloaded and used for computer desktops and as background images for online conferences.
