The Facts

  • After heavy rain caused flooding and landslides along the Ishikawa region on the Sea of Japan, which is still recovering from the severe earthquake in January, at least six people have passed away and ten more are missing.

  • On Saturday, Suzu and Wajima on the northern shore of the Noto peninsula were among numerous Ishikawa prefecture cities under the highest notice for heavy rain from the Japan Meteorological Agency. The service lowered the heavy rain signal but maintained landslide and flooding warnings.
