Possibility of emergency release to Imagawa at Fukuoka Yuuki dam 16:47 on July 6
Fukuoka Prefecture announced that there is a possibility of an emergency release to Imagawa from around 6 pm because the water level is rising at the Yugi Dam in Soeda-cho.
Due to the possibility that the water level of the Imagawa River may increase sharply due to the release, Fukuoka Prefecture will not only suddenly increase the river water level or flood the residents of Soeda Town, Akamura, Miyako Town, and Yukuhashi City located downstream of the dam. In preparation, we are calling on the prefecture's website to take actions to protect our lives.
An emergency discharge is called an emergency flood disaster prevention operation.Unlike normal discharge, when it is assumed that no more water can be stored in the dam, a large amount of water that flows into the dam will flow downstream. ..
When the dam's "emergency discharge" begins, there is a risk of flooding downstream, so please escape from the river and evacuate before the discharge begins.
"Emergency discharge" performed at a dam that has the function of suppressing the increase of river water is called disaster prevention operation during abnormal floods. It is an urgent operation to discharge a quantity of water.
Immediately move away from the river and evacuate before the dam begins an emergency release, as flooding may occur downstream.
