Due to this heavy rain, the Mogami River in Yamagata Prefecture is expected to exceed the "flood danger water level" in the future, which is said to be necessary for local governments to issue "evacuation orders".
There is a risk of flooding in Nagai City and Shirataka Town.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and the Japan Meteorological Agency are calling for strict vigilance by issuing "flood danger information" as the danger of flooding is increasing.
Please ensure your safety by checking evacuation information from your local government and moving to a place where there is no risk of flooding.
