Shuhei Nomura,Stuart Gilmour,Masaharu Tsubokura,Daisuke Yoneoka,Amina Sugimoto,Tomoyoshi Oikawa,Masahiro Kami,Kenji Shibuya +7 more
TL;DR: High mortality, due to initial evacuation, suggests that evacuation of the elderly was not the best life-saving strategy for the Fukushima nuclear disaster and careful planning and coordination with other nursing homes, evacuation sites and government disaster agencies is essential to reduce the risk of mortality.
