Premonition of landslide disaster

Kyushu will continue to experience heavy rains at the end of the rainy season, raising the risk of disasters.
When a landslide disaster occurs due to heavy rain, there is a phenomenon that serves as a precursor. Please keep this in mind in case of emergency.

The second is hearing the crackling of wood, the clashing of stones, and the smell of earth.
The third is that the water in wells, rivers, and springs becomes turbid. Even if the spring water stops, it is one of the harbingers.
The fourth is that water springs out from cliffs and slopes.

In addition, there are pebbles falling apart, rumbling of the ground and rumbling of the mountains, the water level of rivers dropping even though it continues to rain, and trees tilting. At times like this, the risk of landslide disasters is increasing. Call out to people around you immediately and evacuate to a safe place.
