Radiation effects of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Accident forced the evacuation of the entire population of Namie Town. The residents have fled to many places within and outside Fukushima Prefecture including Iwaki City, where, in particular, the majority of the Namie evacuees live in rent-free housing that is scattered over the large city; this has made it difficult for the Namie municipality to deliver adequate public/healthcare services to the former residents. Besides, in such surroundings, the Namie evacuees were prone to live in social isolation because there are few community venues for them to assemble for socializing. Therefore, the Japanese Red Cross Society and the Japanese Red Cross College of Nursing jointly undertook the “Health Interview Survey and Health Assistance for People Evacuated from Namie Town to Iwaki City” project in 2012. This webpage features the activities carried out from October 2012 through March 2017.

On April 26, 1986, the fourth reactor of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine in the former Soviet Union exploded and this accident affected 4.1 million residents. In 1990, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) and Red Cross Societies of Ukraine, Belarus and Russia launched the Chernobyl Humanitarian Assistance and Rehabilitation Programme (CHARP) which provided assistance for the affected people until 2012. This special webpage summarises 22 years of activities by the CHARP.

Efforts of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) to deal with nuclear disaster stem from two nuclear accidents that took place at Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station and Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in 1979 and 1986, respectively. The special web page describes the efforts the IFRC has put in so far to tackle nuclear disaster.

Immediately after the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami the Japanese Red Cross Society (JRCS) sent its relief teams to the affected areas to provide relief activities. However, the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident (Fukushima Daiichi accident) which occurred following the earthquake and tsunami forced the relief teams to temporarily cease their relief activities and leave the prefecture. The JRCS relief activities which were performed after the outset of the Fukushima Daiichi accident have been introduced in the Digital Archives as special content. This webpage will give you access to all of the special content and summaries.
