The following information is a translation of an original Japanese text.
Note 1: Alert Level 5 is rarely issued due to a number of reasons, such as municipal authorities being unable to accurately grasp the severity of a disaster.
Even if information equivalent to an Alert Level (such as Flood Occurrence Information or Sediment Disaster Alert Information) is issued, evacuation information at the same level may not necessarily be issued at the same time.
Note 2: An Alert Level 3 indicates that people who may take longer to evacuate, such as elderly people, people with disabilities, pregnant women, and people with infants, should begin evacuating.
Others should also begin limiting their usual activities as necessary, prepare to evacuate, and evacuate on their own if they feel they are in danger.

The goal of evacuation is to get somewhere safe. If you are in a safe place, you do not need to go to an evacuation site. You may also consider staying indoors to stay safe. *Staying indoors to stay safe is an option only when the “three conditions” are met. |
