Be careful during typhoon season!
|
When heavy rain falls in the river region, or when snowfall in the mountains melts in the spring, a large amount of water flows into rivers, causing flooding. This may cause damage to the coastal protection barriers and the water that overflows the embankments may cause damage to the areas near the river’s shore.
|
Slightly heavy rain
10–20mm
|
|
It is difficult to have a conversation or to hear people speaking because of the sound of rain.
Rain forms puddles.
Beware if this level of rain continues for a long time.
|
|
|
Gutters overflow, small rivers flood, and small-scale landslides occur.
|
|
|
Significant downpour "Raining buckets".
Roads are flooded and look like rivers.
Landslides are more likely to occur.
Residents need to be ready to evacuate.
|
|
|
The rain is like a waterfall, making loud noise.
Water bursts from utility holes, and floods into basements and underground shopping malls. Many floods and flood-related disasters occur.
|
Dangerous rain levels
80mm and over |
|
The rain causes a feeling of suffocation, and people feel threatened.
A state of serious alert is required as there is a likelihood of a large-scale disaster occurring.
|
The impact of a typhoon changes with the direction in which it moves.
|
Upon receiving information on the expected course of a typhoon, check which side of your area it will pass.
