At 2:41 a.m., the Japan Meteorological Agency issued a special heavy rain warning for Oguni Town, Yamagata Prefecture.
So far, special heavy rain warnings have been announced for Yonezawa City, Nanyo City, Takahata Town, Kawanishi Town, Nagai City, and Iide Town in Yamagata Prefecture, and Murakami City and Sekikawa Village in Niigata Prefecture.
The highest level of caution is required with information corresponding to level 5, which is the highest of the five alert levels.
It is a heavy rain that has never been experienced before in several decades, and it is extremely likely that serious disasters such as flooding and landslides have already occurred.
The Japan Meteorological Agency will check the surrounding conditions, and if it is dangerous to move to an evacuation site, move to a nearby sturdy building, or if it is already dangerous to go outside, move to a cliff or slope above the second floor of a building. We are calling for you to take actions that are likely to save your life, such as moving to the room on the opposite side.
