Notes. Evacuation areas = All municipalities in the whole & the other evacuation areas. Total evacuation areas = Naraha, Tomioka, Okuma, Futaba, Namie, Katsurao, and Iitate. Terminated/partial evacuation areas = Tamura, Minami-Soma, Kawamata, Hirono, and Kawauchi. Non-evacuation areas = Other municipalities in Fukushima Prefecture. *p < .05; **p < .01 | ||||||||
