An emergency conference was held by the Japanese Meteorological Agency (JMA) following the issuance of an exceptional heavy rain warning. The unprecedented warning aims to alert the Japanese citizens of upcoming dangerous weather conditions that may trigger floods and landslides. The press conference aimed to give the public more specific information on the expected scale of threat and safety measures to be adhered.

In Japan, weather warnings, particularly those regarding heavy rainfall, are taken seriously due to the country's vulnerability to natural disasters such as floods and landslides. The public usually pays close attention to announcements from the JMA and follows advised safety precautions. The social value of collective responsibility and the legal provision for disaster response is evident in such situations.

Similar to Japan, the US and EU have systems in place for issuing weather warnings through their respective meteorological institutions. These warnings are also taken seriously, with safety guidelines provided to residents in potentially affected areas. However, due to differing geographical conditions, the nature of warnings and the disasters they predict can vary.
