Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi emphasized that heavy rain is impacting areas already devastated by the Noto earthquake, contributing to public anxiety and displacement.
Local authorities reported that flooding has breached at least 12 rivers, leading to the evacuation of nearly 45,000 residents as rain continues to threaten lives.
The Japanese Meteorological Agency warned of a life-threatening situation in Ishikawa as they predict up to 20 centimeters of rain within the next 24 hours.
