There are two types of ﬂood damage - "river ﬂooding (river water inundation)", which is caused by water overﬂowing from large rivers
and destroying embankments, etc., and "inland ﬂooding", which is when water overﬂows from waterways and drainage facilities because
drainage water has exceeds the capacity. The inland ﬂooding hazard map covers "inland ﬂooding". Please refer to the Shimamoto TownEvacuation Site Map (issued in September 2020) for details of river ﬂooding from rivers such as the Yodo River and the Minase River.
