Fukui evacuations amid heavy rains
The Japan Meteorological Agency issued a warning of heavy rainfall in Fukui Prefecture amid reports of mudslides, rising river levels, and flooding of homes and roads. The warning was initially classified at the highest level (Level 5), but was later downgraded to Level 4, which calls for the evacuation of residents in at-risk areas. Approximately 244,000 people have been advised to take emergency safety measures, and about 111,000 individuals have been evacuated in five municipalities due to ongoing rains. Cities such as Katsuyama, Sakai, and Fukui recorded record rainfall exceeding 300 mm within 24 hours, leading to floods, road closures, and vehicle accidents. Heavy rain is expected to continue across large areas of western and eastern Japan.
