How to say "aftermath" in Japanese

• 二番刈りにばんかり
  nounCovers only the original, literal sense of 'aftermath': a second crop of grass from a field. For the aftermath of a disaster or war, this agricultural word is not what you want.
• 余波よはCommon
  nounThe common word for the figurative sense: the after-effects or consequences that follow and linger after a disaster, storm, war, or similar event. This is the word you want in most contexts.
  台風たいふうの余波よはで２日間にちかん停電ていでんした。↗

  There was no electricity for two days in the aftermath of the typhoon.
• 落とし子おとしご
  nounA less common, figurative word for something produced by something, especially war — the 'product of war' sense. It names the thing created rather than the period of consequences that follows.

Use 余波 for the common figurative sense, the after-effects of a disaster or war; 「二番刈り」 is the literal agricultural second crop, while 「落とし子」 is a less common word for something produced, as by war.
