Welcome to the FuJET Wiki!
Welcome to the FuJET Wiki! We have successfully moved from the fujet wikia to our own, brand-spanking-new FuJET wiki! So your first question might be:  What exactly is FuJET? Well, FuJET stands for the "Fukushima Association for Japan Exchange and Teaching" and means that we are the Fukushima chapter of National AJET, an organisation founded by participants of the JET Programme. AJET is a national body which, among other things, liaises with CLAIR on behalf of its membership, the JET participants. However, while National AJET supports JETs at a national level, FuJET supports JETs in Fukushima prefecture. Our aim is to provide a professional and social support network so that your time on JET is fun and worry free! So without further ado...

Here you find a nexus to all things Fukushima and the ALT lifestyle. You will find articles detailing everything from what to bring with you when you first make your way here to what to expect about your region to the kitchen sink. Explore away! We are constantly adding new content to the FuJET wiki so please make sure to check back often.

This wiki will continue to expand and change through the help of Fukushima's unparalleled community.

FUKU! SHIMA!

Emergency Procedures
As you all know, Japan is home to a wide range of natural disasters. While this is no reason to live in fear, everyone should take the time to prepare for emergencies. This means knowing who to call, knowing where your local evacuation center, hospitals, and police stations are located, and being prepared both emotionally and materially for whatever emergency you may face. Follow this link for detailed information on contacting emergency services, handling gas leaks, nation-wide help lines and making a home disaster kit.

Great East Japan Earthquake or Higashi nihon daishinsai (東日本大震災)
On March 11, 2011 the eastern coast of Japan experienced a massive earthquake. It was the most powerful known earthquake to have ever hit Japan, and the fifth most powerful earthquake in the world. This earthquake triggered a massive tsunami that reached heights of up to 40.5 metres in Miyako in Tohoku's Iwate Prefecture and travelled as far as 10 kilometres inland in Sendai. As a result, the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant experienced a failure of its cooling system and radiation was released. Although many of us living in Fukushima feel very safe, you can check Fukushima prefecture's daily radioactivity levels here.
