Summary

On September 26, the Kanto region is expected to experience heavy rain that could reach warning levels due to a stagnant autumn rain front.

There is an increased risk of landslides, so it is important to avoid dangerous areas, especially near cliffs. Additionally, Typhoon No. 26 is forecasted to approach Okinawa with strong force around the 27th, prompting warnings for high waves. As a precaution against natural disasters, it is crucial to stock up on food and water and to check hazard maps.

Log: The risk of landslides increases, so it’s best to stay away from cliffs and steep areas.

Admin’s Note

This news really made us reconsider the threat of natural disasters. In particular, the importance of being prepared in light of the forecast for heavy rain warrants serious attention from everyone. I believe it’s crucial to pass on knowledge about natural disasters to children, just like Chako does. Additionally, Navi’s explanation about landslides was very helpful. Moving forward, it’s essential that we stay informed and be prepared for such situations.
