Typhoon No. 25 brought a landslide in Japan that left at least one person in cardiopulmonary arrest, according to 毎日新聞. The storm is bearing down on the Kanto region and made its closest approach during Japan's holiday weekend, with Tokyo in its path.
More than 1.9 million people have been issued evacuation instructions, 毎日新聞 reports. In Kanagawa Prefecture, authorities issued "emergency safety assurance" orders to over 200,000 people and requested disaster relief deployment, according to 毎日新聞.
The Izu Islands were placed under a Level 5 landslide disaster special warning, which was later downgraded to a Level 4 landslide danger warning, tenki.jp reported. A Level 4 landslide disaster danger warning was also issued for Oshima Town in Tokyo, according to やさしい朝日新聞.
The heavy rain and landslide risk come as the typhoon tracks near the Japanese capital during a national holiday period, when travel and outdoor activity are typically high. Authorities have urged residents in at-risk areas to move to safety.
Officials will continue to monitor landslide risk and rainfall as the storm moves through the region. Residents in affected areas should follow local evacuation guidance and stay alert for further warnings.
