The Japan Meteorological Agency and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism collectively held a press convention and introduced that the particular heavy rain warnings introduced in Fukuoka and Oita prefectures will probably be changed with heavy rain warnings round 5:30 pm on the tenth.
Yoshiyuki Toyoguchi, head of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism’s river setting division, mentioned at a press convention, “The Chikugo River continues to have high water levels, and the switch to heavy rain warnings does not mean that the danger of disasters has disappeared. Follow evacuation information and take care of yourself. I want you to secure it,” he known as.
In addition, “Although the water level of the rivers flowing through Fukuoka and Oita prefectures is on a downward trend, the high water level will continue due to the rain in the basin and the long-term release of the water stored in the dam. In addition to the fact that the basin has been wet due to the rain so far, there is not much reserve capacity due to the large amount of water accumulated in the dam.In the future, heavy rains will increase the risk of river flooding. Please pay attention to heavy rain conditions.”
