--many houses and facilities has been rebuilt in the earthquake and tsunami affected areas. These area are moving forward to reach an “overall completion ” based on a local revitalization model. On the other hand, the area affected by the nuclear- disaster in Fukushima still need mid- to long-term support for reconstruction and revitalization.
“ compared to Miyagi and Iwate [prefectures which were badly damaged by the earthquake and tsunami],[the reconstruction of] Fukushima will take a longer time..”
