Typhoon No. 12 is anticipated to hit regions of Japan in the evening, calling for heightened disaster prevention measures across affected locales. Residents are urged to be vigilant as the storm may bring with it destructive winds and heavy rainfall. Authorities are closely monitoring the situation and are in the process of carrying out preventive steps to minimize the impacts of the typhoon.

Japan is known for its diligence in terms of disaster management due to its geographical location which makes it susceptible to extreme weather conditions such as typhoons and earthquakes. This impending typhoon is making headlines as public safety is one of the highest priorities in Japanese society. Preventive measures are often taken in advance like reinforcing infrastructure and making evacuation plans available to everyone.

While Japan's methodologies in combating extreme weather are on par, if not more advanced compared to the US or EU, it's the frequency of these events that create the distinction. The US and EU also prepare for extreme weather, but the frequency of such events is comparatively low. Plus, the evacuation protocols might differ as in the US, for instance, they often involve massive population movements which are not very common in Japan.
