This year marks the 10^th anniversary of the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake and Tsunami. In Fukushima, it is often referred to as the 2011 triple-disaster because of the additional crisis of the accident at the Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant. It has been a long and challenging 10 years since those initial difficult days of despair and uncertainty, but the people of Fukushima persevered. To see the coastline today, it is difficult to imagine how much tireless effort has gone into clearing away the prior devastation. Where before there was destruction, now there is beauty once again. Restoring the land has been difficult, as has been the effort to restore Fukushima's reputation. There are still more challenges to face, both in the present with the Coronavirus pandemic and whatever else may come in the future, but the people of Fukushima will overcome them. This is what we do. This is who we are. This is Fukushima.
