The Earthquake Recovery Act of 2011 was legislation enacted to facilitate the rebuilding and recovery efforts after the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and the resulting Fukushima nuclear disaster. It provided a legal framework for coordinating government agencies, mobilizing resources, and implementing measures to restore infrastructure, support affected communities, and promote economic recovery. The act aimed to ensure efficient and swift reconstruction, address environmental and safety concerns, and enhance preparedness for future disasters by establishing designated agencies and processes dedicated to post-disaster recovery efforts.
