Typhoon No.19 Earth and sand disaster Evacuation point is Oct. 12, 14:56

Due to Typhoon No. 19, in the Kanto and Tokai areas, there has been a record heavy rain, especially along the mountains, and the risk of landslide disasters has become extremely high in various locations. A summary of evacuation points for landslide disasters.

The high risk of landslide disasters ...

The risk of landslide disasters is particularly high in “Sediment-related disaster warning areas”, “Sediment-related disaster warning areas”, and “Sediment-related disaster risk areas”.

In some cases, not only near slopes and cliffs, but also at relatively remote locations, they are designated as “earth and sand disaster caution areas.” Check whether your location is a high-risk area using a hazard map. please.

Evacuate early!

When the risk of landslide disasters increases so much, the meteorological observatory and prefectures will jointly announce “Sediment-related Disaster Warning Information”. In Kanto Koshin and Tokai, many municipalities have already published this information.

If you live in a place where there is a risk of earth and sand disasters, please be aware of information such as local government evacuation advisories and evacuate early.

If it is difficult to evacuate due to flooding around the house, strong rain or wind, etc., ensure safety by performing “vertical evacuation” on the second floor of the building and away from cliffs and slopes. Sometimes you can.

Pay attention to incidents

Sediment disasters can occur suddenly even if landslide warning information and evacuation information have not been announced.

Before a landslide disaster occurs, pebbles fall from the slope, cracks occur in the slope, water suddenly springs out from the slope, and the water in the river suddenly decreases. May be heard.

If you notice these unusual phenomena, you should immediately leave the cliff or slope to ensure safety.

However, in order to confirm these precursors, it is dangerous to approach cliffs and slopes. It should also be noted that there is no necessarily a precursor.
