In this study, we will analyze the revitalization situation in the municipalities that formulated the location optimization plans in Fukushima, which was the most damaged by the Typhoon of Eastern Japan in 2019, and obtained basic findings about the future planning for revitalization. This study clarifies that (1) river restoration and other soft disaster prevention measures are being implemented in many municipalities, (2) urban development projects and building regulations are not being implemented in most municipalities, and (3) disaster prevention guidelines are under consideration in all municipalities. Based on these findings, it points out that it is important for the municipalities and residents to collaborate in finding various solutions to disaster prevention and mitigation according to the characteristics of the municipalities.
