abstract="This paper, the last in the Special Issue (SI) on the SHAMISEN project, presents an  overview of the SHAMISEN Recommendations for Preparedness and Health Surveillance of  Populations Affected by a Radiation Accident. The recommendations are based on the  lessons learnt from previous nuclear accidents, and the engagement activities with  different stakeholder groups, described in the other papers of this SI. The SHAMISEN  project developed a total of 28 recommendations. They include general  recommendations, applicable across all phases of an accident, and specific  recommendations for each of the three main phases: preparedness, early and  intermediate, and long-term recovery. The recommendations are subdivided by topic:  health surveillance, epidemiological studies, dose reconstruction, evacuation, and  training of and communication with health personnel and other actors involved in  liaising with affected populations. Each recommendation is divided into 3 sections -  why, how and who - thus providing background and concrete advice as to how each  SHAMISEN recommendation should be implemented and by whom. It is notable that many  recommendations are also applicable to other disaster types, including the current  SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
