Tomorrow, the 3rd, a low pressure system will pass near Japan, so it is likely to rain nationwide. Particularly in the Hokuriku region, which was hit by a major earthquake, the rain will continue for a long time into the 4th, and there is a risk of warning-level heavy rain. Strict vigilance is required against landslides and other disasters.

It will rain in the Noto region of Ishikawa Prefecture starting tonight.

In the Noto region of Ishikawa Prefecture, where the major earthquake occurred, rain is expected to begin tonight (the 2nd). There is also a possibility that the rain may become heavier temporarily. Many areas in Ishikawa Prefecture are experiencing power outages, and it gets cold at night, so please take precautions against the cold, such as gathering in a room in the center of your house instead of a corner room, and closing windows and curtains tightly. Please have a good time.

Intermittent rain in Hokuriku on the 3rd, warning of landslides into the 4th

Tomorrow, the 3rd, the area of ​​rain will gradually spread across the Hokuriku region, and the rain is likely to become heavier in various parts of the country, especially from night. In coastal areas, winds will be strong and there is a possibility of heavy rain. The rain is expected to continue until the morning of the 4th. Because the ground is likely to be quite loose, the risk of landslides caused by rain may be higher than usual. We need to be careful about landslides.

*The Japan Meteorological Agency has issued a landslide warning for municipalities in Ishikawa, Niigata, Toyama, and Fukui prefectures where the shaking was strong, taking into account the loosening of the ground caused by the earthquake in the Noto region of Ishikawa Prefecture that occurred at around 16:10 on January 1. We are operating with lower standards for publishing information.

Additionally, on the night of the 3rd, it will become even colder, with some areas at high altitudes turning to snow. Please take all possible measures to protect yourself from the cold, such as evacuating to a place where you can stay as warm as possible.

If a big earthquake occurs

Even when an earthquake early warning is announced or you suddenly feel shaking, be sure to know what actions to take so that you can take appropriate action without panic. Examples of actions to ensure safety are as follows.

① At home, protect your head and evacuate to a safe place such as under a sturdy desk. Please do not rush outside or try to force the fire out. It is also important to open the door and secure an evacuation route.
② In the elevator, stop at the nearest floor and get off immediately.
③ Be careful of collapsing block walls in the city. Also, be careful of falling signs and broken glass. If you are near a sturdy building, evacuate inside the building.
④ Do not rush to reduce your speed while driving. Don’t apply sudden brakes, slow down slowly. Turn on your hazard lights to alert surrounding cars. If you feel a strong shaking, please stop on the left side of the road.
⑤ Be careful of falling rocks and landslides near mountains and cliffs.
