The UAE mission in Tokyo urged Emiratis in Japan to exercise caution due to the heavy rainfall and strong winds expected from Typhoon Jangmi in southern Kyushu and along the country’s coasts.
The mission emphasised the importance of following safety instructions issued by the authorities and contacting 0097180024 or 0097180044444 in emergencies, as well as registering for “Twajudi” service.
The severe tropical storm battered southwestern Japan on Tuesday, injuring 15 people and prompting calls to evacuate for hundreds of thousands of people due to flooding and landslide risks.
Storm Jangmi – which was downgraded from a typhoon – also knocked out power to tens of thousands of homes and grounded hundreds of flights. But the storm was heading northeast toward Tokyo, where authorities warned of possible transport disruptions and school closures for Wednesday.
Jangmi led to evacuation advisories for more than 800,000 people in Miyazaki and Kagoshima prefectures on the southern main island of Kyushu, the Japanese government said.
Torrential rain and strong winds that felled a 10-metre tree in Okinawa were seen in images reported by local media.
Some 17,000 households on the island and more than 30,000 in the southwestern Kagoshima region were without power Tuesday morning. The Fire and Disaster Management Agency said Jangmi had also injured 15 people in Okinawa.
