Towards the end of the rainy season, strong concentrated rain is common, but it is difficult topredict exactly when it will occur. They occur suddenly, and over short periods of time.
Strong concentrated rain is often the cause of river overflow, landslides, and other natural
disasters. Pay close attention to weather reports, and be well prepared for their eventual
occurrence.
Regarding Underpasses
Underpasses are roads that pass underneath railroads.
They are dangerous to use during periods of heavy rain.
There are underpasses at Nishimachi, Yamado-cho nakakirishima,
Yamanokuchi-cho hananoki, and Minamitakao.

There are two major types of flooding: Inundation (river overflow) and inland flooding(failure to drain away water).

Flooding by Inundation

Inland Flooding
Caused by concentrated rain in surrounding areasthat cannot drain away.

② Regarding Floods③ Regarding Heavy Rain/Landslides

Your Personal Timeline
Evacuating does not simply mean “go to an evacuation center”!
Evacuating involves moving from a dangerous location to a safer location; when it ispossible to remain safely at home, do so! Sheltering at home, or taking shelter with friends
and family when your own home is in danger, can sometimes be the best course of action.
When danger is near, ① Avoid going outside, ② Move to higher floors, and③ Wait for aid to arrive. For example:• At night during heavy rain, you cannot see which areas are dangerous.
• Walking through water at or above the knees is dangerous.
• Even when below the knees, fast flowing water is very dangerous.

AlwaysCheck!

Remember to first “protect your life yourself”, consider the risk of damage
to your home, and decide what course of action to take.

Evacuation Decision Flow Chart

Where should I go? What should I do?

※Hazard maps indicate areas prone toflooding and landslides in various colours.
However, non-coloured zones may also
experience natural disasters.

Confirm where your house is located on your※hazard map, and mark it.

Your Personal Timeline

Has the area around your house been coveredby a certain advisory/colour?

Be Prepared!

Even if it has not, those who live in low-lying
areas, or locations prone to other disasters,
should follow evacuation advisories issued by
the city.

No

Yes

When there is a potential impending disaster,
as a rule, proceed to evacuate.

Exceptions

Do you expect yourself or anyone with you totake considerable time evacuating?

No

Landslides: When living on the upper floorsof an apartment complex that can withstanda landslide impact.
Flooding:
1. When you live outside the area of
expected damage or collapse
2. When you live at an elevation higher
than the expected level of flooding
3. If you can remain indoors until waters
recede, and have enough food andwater to safely survive.
