According to radar analysis, it seems that regarding 110 mm of heavy rain fell in one hour until 17:10 on the 26th in the vicinity of Kosaka Town, Akita Prefecture, and “recording short-term heavy rain information” was announced.
Watch out for landslides from heavy rains, flooding of low-lying land, and flooding of rivers. If you live in a place where there is a risk of landslides or flooding, moving to a pre-determined evacuation site may be rather dangerous. In such a case, move to a safer place, such as a safer neighborhood or a room on the second floor or higher.

What is record-breaking short-term heavy rain information?
Meteorological observatories around the world publish data when they observe and analyze short periods of heavy rain that occur only once every few years. Standards vary by region. It is announced to inform that it is “rarely observed rainfall that leads to the occurrence of disaster” for the area.
When to evacuate? What is the timing?
Disasters such as landslides and flooding of rivers occur suddenly and spread quickly, so delaying evacuation can be life-threatening.
Therefore, the timing of evacuation is important. In the case of alert level 3, the elderly and people with disabilities should evacuate to a safe place. At alert level 4, all people in the target area should evacuate immediately. When alert level 5 is reached, a disaster has already occurred, so action to protect lives is necessary. It may be difficult to evacuate safely once alert level 5 is reached, so it is necessary to evacuate as soon as possible.
When the weather gets rough, the danger of evacuating increases, such as worsening road conditions and objects being blown away by storms. Even if no evacuation order has been issued, evacuate yourself if you feel even the slightest danger. If you feel uneasy, that time is the time to evacuate. When evacuating, please be aware of disaster prevention and ask your neighbors to evacuate to a safe place as soon as possible.
