Japan Issues Level 4 Flood Warning for Tokyo's Zenpukuji River

Japan's Meteorological Agency issued a Level 4 flood danger warning for the Zenpukuji River in Tokyo at 11:50 p.m. on September 6, urging strict vigilance as water levels rise and the risk of flooding increases. The Level 4 warning serves as a guideline for local governments to issue evacuation orders. Residents in potential flood zones are advised to check municipal evacuation information and take early precautions, such as moving to higher floors, even without an official order. This warning comes amid heavy rain from Typhoon No. 24, which has prompted temporary school closures across the Kanto region and evacuation advisories for over 5,000 people in Tokyo's Kita Ward.
