There is a risk of heavy rain from tonight. Chiba Prefecture.
In Chiba Prefecture, where a large-scale power outage due to Typhoon No. 15 is protracted, heavy rains may occur from the night of the 15th to the 16th, so early preparations are necessary. In areas where the impact of a power outage is severe, there is a difficult issue on how to convey important information, as the means of disseminating information from local governments to residents is limited due to communication problems.
In Chiba Prefecture, where a maximum of 640,000 houses lost power due to Typhoon No. 15, more than 1,200 houses have been damaged by the 14th, and many people stay in broken houses.
In Chiba Prefecture, there is a risk of heavy rain from the night of the 15th to the 16th, the weather station is calling for early preparations, and work to cover the broken houses with blue sheets was carried out in various places on the 14th .
However, specialized work is necessary for such work, and a group of contractors is calling to stop it because it is dangerous because it may fall from the roof etc.
On the other hand, in areas where the effects of power outages are serious, there are still places where calls cannot be made, and in some local governments, disaster prevention administrative radios are not functioning.
As the means of disseminating information from local governments to residents is limited, we are faced with difficult issues on how local governments communicate and receive information about preparations for heavy rain and alerts.
