Typhoon Shanshan has brought heavy rainfall and strong winds to Japan, raising the risk of floods and landslides in the region. The typhoon made landfall in eastern Japan on Thursday, prompting authorities to issue evacuation advisories to thousands of residents.
The heavy rainfall has caused rivers to swell and triggered landslides in some areas. In Ibaraki Prefecture, a landslide blocked a road and forced the closure of several train lines. Rescue teams have been deployed to the affected areas to assist with evacuation efforts and ensure the safety of residents.
Authorities are urging residents to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions to protect themselves from the potentially dangerous conditions. The Japan Meteorological Agency has warned of continued heavy rainfall in the coming days, increasing the risk of further flooding and landslides.
As Typhoon Shanshan continues to move across Japan, residents are being advised to stay indoors, avoid unnecessary travel, and ensure that they are well-prepared for any emergency situations that may arise. The authorities are closely monitoring the situation and providing updates to the public as needed.
The impact of Typhoon Shanshan serves as a reminder of the unpredictable and destructive nature of these natural disasters. It is essential for residents to heed the warnings and advice of authorities to ensure their safety during times of heightened risk.
