The showers, which began on July 4 on the Japanese island of Kyushu, caused flooding and numerous landslides. The Oita and Fukuoka prefectures suffered more than others. The number of victims of landslides has already exceeded 30 people, with another 20 people listed as missing.
1,3 thousand people are placed in evacuation points. Landslides destroy not only houses, but also roads, bridges, as happened in Fukuoka Prefecture. Many populated areas of the prefecture were cut off from the outside world. Employees of the Self-Defense Forces inspect the rubble in the landslide landslide, hoping to find people.
In Aichi Prefecture, 120 mm of sediment fell in one hour of the shower. The probability of flooding and landslides to Inuyama city, where 74 thousand people live, has sharply increased. The authorities decided to fully evacuate residents of the city. A similar situation develops in the city of Komaki.
The main cyclone left Japan. Local authorities are considering projects of residential complexes for people who lost housing. In the affected areas on July 12, Prime Minister of Japan Shinzo Abe visited.
