Regarding the announcement of special heavy rain warnings in Fukuoka prefecture, Saga prefecture and Nagasaki prefecture, the Nohkyu Nakamoto forecasting section manager of the Japan Meteorological Agency held a press conference at 5:30 pm and said, ``Municipalities that have issued special warnings have experienced so far. It's raining like never before. It's very likely that some kind of disaster has already occurred due to a landslide or flood, and we have to do our best to save our lives."
In addition to that, "please make a decision not to go to the designated evacuation site and to evacuate to a floor above a sturdy building that is at a distance from rivers and cliffs. It is important to take actions that are likely to save lives, such as moving to a room on the second floor or above. It is also necessary to take the utmost caution even in places where disasters are not expected to occur”. Said.
“In the future, we may announce special warnings to other municipalities, as well as special warnings in Kumamoto and Oita prefectures. Evacuation after the special warning is issued will be too late. I would like you to immediately follow the evacuation advice of the local municipalities without waiting and ensure your personal safety urgently."
