» Warning and advisory advisory status

Take strict precautions against river flooding and frequent landslides

It has been raining in Miyazaki Prefecture since before the arrival of Typhoon No. 14, with a total rainfall of more than 400 mm. There is a risk of frequent landslides over large areas, or large-scale floods caused by rivers overflowing or bursting.

If you are near a slope or a place prone to collapse, evacuate immediately. If you are unable to evacuate, or mud and flooding have begun in the surrounding area, try to get to a higher floor of your house, or to the opposite side of a mountain or cliff, where there is a slight chance of survival.

This situation is expected to continue until tomorrow the 30th.

Take the best action to save lives

When a major disaster that occurs once in ten years and far exceeds the standard for issuing a “warning” is expected to occur, a “special warning” will be issued and residents in the target area will be required to remain highly vigilant.

In addition, the Japan Meteorological Agency provides five levels of “heavy rain warning levels” for disaster prevention weather information such as weather warnings so that everyone can intuitively understand what actions should be taken. Level 5 is a situation where a disaster is about to occur or has already occurred, making it difficult to start evacuation.

What are the special warnings caused by typhoons, etc.?

Special warnings related to weather, etc. are roughly divided into three categories: those caused by rainfall (heavy rain), those caused by typhoons, etc. (storms, storm surges, waves, blizzards), and those caused by snow (heavy snow).

Special warnings such as typhoons refer to typhoons or extratropical cyclones that occur once every ten years. Special warnings such as typhoons are issued when strong winds, storm surges, waves, heavy snow, etc. are expected to occur.

Storms are already raging before a disaster such as a typhoon occurs. It is difficult to evacuate outdoors when a disaster occurs, so it is characteristic to issue announcements before the storm starts.

Kagoshima City is in the eye of the typhoon and is in a backwash alert state

Judging from reports received from weather news app users in the past 30 minutes, there has been a rapid increase in posts about the typhoon’s impact around Kagoshima City.

The typhoon will continue to move north after making landfall near Kagoshima City, and the returning winds are expected to strengthen soon. Please do not let your guard down and remain on high alert for strong winds.
