Japan's meteorological agency has issued a warning for their citizens to prepare for a typhoon possibly bringing heavy rain. Local government units and disaster management agencies are on high alert, tightening preventive measures against possible landslides and flash floods. The public is advised to be vigilant and stay updated on the weather news as conditions can quickly change.

In Japan, typhoons and heavy rains cause widespread concern due to the country's unusual vulnerability to these severe weather events. Often leading to flooding and landslides, these typhoons can cause massive damage to infrastructure and loss of life. The country uses sophisticated technology for early weather forecasting and employs strict building regulations to mitigate the damage caused by these storms.

Compared to the US or EU, Japan faces a much higher frequency of typhoons due to its geographical location. However, Japan's disaster preparedness and response system is considered one of the best in the world. In contrast, though storms and hurricanes also happen in the US, their frequency and magnitude vary greatly depending on the region.
