River flooding The point of evacuation is 12:03 on October 12
The river level has already risen in various places due to heavy rain caused by Typhoon # 19. Information that should be noted and points to evacuate in order to avoid flood damage.
Don't miss the “danger”
When the water level rises in the river, various information will be announced by the national government and local governments. However, please be careful about the information with "Danger" such as "Inundation risk information" and "Over flood risk level".
This information means that the river water level has reached a level that is not strange at any time.
Evacuation is necessary.
Please evacuate paying attention to local government information.
Information such as “Inundation Warning Information” and “Exceeding Evacuation Judgment Level” may be announced before this information is released.
This is a standard for local governments to call for evacuation.
Please consider evacuation paying attention to the information published by the local government, especially in families where the evacuation takes time and families with the elderly.
Ensuring safety in “occurrence”
When flooding occurs in a river, “flooding information” may be announced.
When this information comes out, there is a possibility that the river has already overflowed and inundation has started.
Immediate evacuation is required, but if it is dangerous to move to the evacuation site or there is no grace, safety may be secured by “vertical evacuation” that moves to a higher location nearby or the second floor of the home.
No information is available ...
However, there are rivers where such information is not announced, such as small and medium rivers.
In that case, pay attention to how it rains, and collect information, such as confirming the flood risk distribution on the Meteorological Agency website.
In narrow rivers such as urban areas, the water level may rise rapidly in a short time.
If you live near the river, please evacuate early.
