・ To the first floor or above the building on the ground: there is a risk that the rain will flow into the underground mall and submerge. Choose a spot on the ground above the first floor as a shelter from the rain.

・ Underpass: Avoid roads that go as low as possible, even on the roads you normally use. On roads that go through low places like underpasses, water accumulates in a short time and if the car is submerged in water, the water pressure can prevent the door from opening.
・ Even if it does not rain downstream, if the river water level rises suddenly, the water becomes muddy, or the branches of trees are washed away due to heavy rain falling upstream, it is not possible to observe the river situation. Try to get out of the river immediately without doing so.
