Inundation risk information 7 rivers Greatest alert on October 12 at 17:20
The seven rivers in Kanto Koshin and Shizuoka have a higher risk of flooding, and “flooding risk information” has been published.
The information is as follows.
As of 5:00 pm, “Inundation risk information” is available for “Arakawa” in Kumagaya City, Saitama Prefecture, “Iruma River” in Higashimatsuyama City, Saitama Prefecture, and “Tama River” in Chofu City and Ota, Tokyo. The observatory in Asakawa is an observation station in Hachioji City, Tokyo, an observation station in Atsugi City, Kanagawa Prefecture, in the middle of the Sagami River, and an observation station in Saku City, Nagano Prefecture, in the upstream of the Chikuma River. This is an observation station in Kikugawa City, Shizuoka Prefecture.
“Inundation risk information” will be announced when the risk of flooding increases by the river management country or prefecture in cooperation with the weather station.
If the levee breaks down and floods, a large amount of water will flow out at a stretch, which is very dangerous.
In large rivers such as the Arakawa River, flooding may result in inundation even at locations away from the river.
People who are in danger of inundation such as by the river need to leave the river to ensure safety, but the road may already be flooded, etc. Please check your surroundings carefully.
Also, even if it is not raining in the area where you live, you should be careful because the rain that has fallen upstream may flow into the river and the water level may rise.
