River inundation SNS contribution to information release based on Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Chubu Regional Development Bureau August 8 5:30

In the event of heavy rain, the Chubu Regional Development Bureau of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism will provide the information posted on the SNS, even if the flood cannot be confirmed directly, in order to promptly inform the residents of the possibility of flooding of the river so that they can be evacuated. Originally, it was decided to announce its own information that "it seems that the flooding has occurred".

In last year's Typhoon No. 19, we could not directly confirm the situation of river flooding such as Naka River flowing in Ibaraki prefecture with the camera or the camera, and there were cases where the announcement of flood occurrence information was delayed or could not be announced.

In response to this, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's Chubu Regional Development Bureau found a post on the SNS that showed that the river was inundating, and if a nearby water level gauge indicated the possibility of flooding, it said, "There was a flood. It will be announced as the original information.

This is an attempt to promptly evacuate residents, and the target is 39 rivers managed by the Chubu Regional Development Bureau, such as the Kano River, Tenryu River, and Shonai River.

After announcing this information, if the fact that the river is inundated can be directly confirmed, we will announce the "flood occurrence information" again.

The Chubu Regional Development Bureau of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism says, "We want to utilize the information that can be used even on SNS so that the residents can take action to protect their lives quickly."

According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, the Chubu Regional Development Bureau is the first to announce such information, but there are issues such as securing personnel to collect SNS information. I will consider it.
