Resumen

In consideration of the fact that radioactive materials released due to the accident at Tokyo Electric Power Company's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station following the earthquake that occurred off the Pacific coast of the Tohoku region on March 11, 2011 have spread widely and that the risks of radiation from said radioactive materials to human health have yet to be elucidated scientifically, and that such fact has caused people who reside or did reside in areas where measured radiation doses exceed a certain level, those who were forced to evacuate under orders for evacuation issued by the national government, and those equivalent thereto to suffer concerns about their health and to bear such a burden in their lives, and in light of the fact that there is a need to support such people and that special consideration is required for children when offering said support, this Act provides basic matters concerning measures to be implemented to support disaster victims in their lives, with due consideration to any children, with the aim of promoting support measures for the lives of disaster victims for protecting and supporting them in their lives, thereby helping them shed anxiety and achieve stability in their lives. Article 4 establishes that the national government must take legislative or financial measures or other measures as necessary for implementing support measures. The text consists of 19 articles.
