Ryuta Kurora, Chief of the Forecast Division of the Japan Meteorological Agency, held a press conference at 10 am and said, "It has been a heavy rain like never before in Hiroshima City, which announced a special warning. Especially, sediment disasters and inundation are assumed. It is highly probable that some kind of disaster has already occurred in the area where the disaster has occurred. I want you to evacuate immediately. Even in places where it is usually thought that disasters will not occur, we need the highest level of caution. "
On top of that, "In the rivers that flow through Hiroshima and Shimane, the water has risen due to the rain so far, and the risk of flooding is increasing. In the future, there is a possibility that special warnings will be issued to local governments other than Hiroshima City, so it is important for me and myself. In order to protect human lives, I would like you to confirm the danger of your current location and ensure safety according to the evacuation information of the local government without waiting for the announcement of a special warning.
