Heavy rain and tyhoons are expected to cause flooding, landslides, and electricity, gas, and water outages. When heavy rain or a tyhoon occurs, keep items that might be blown away by strong winds inside your room or secure them tightly to prevent them from being blown away. There is also a risk of window glass breaking, so it is a good idea to reinforce window glass.

 An earthquake can cause buildings to collapse, windows to break, and even a tsunami. There is also the fear that electricity, gas, and water services will be cut off.

 When an earthquake strikes, if you are indoors, protect your head by moving as far away from furniture as possible. It is also important to open doors and secure escape routes. If outdoors, be careful of collapsing block walls. You should also be careful of falling signboards and broken glass.

 If a tsunami occurs, first get away from the coast. It is necessary to quickly escape to higher ground or an evacuation building, but calm action is required.

 When an active volcano such as Sakurajima erupts, volcanic ash falls. In the case of a major eruption, it may also lead to earthquakes and tsunamis. When an active volcano erupts, volcanic ash falls even during normal times. Check the ash fall forecast. A major eruption may also cause earthquakes and tsunamis, so do not panic and check the latest information.
