I just received an e-mail calling for the evacuation of the Hitoyoshi area. Here’s the Google translation of it (which I’ve tweaked slightly so that it makes more sense):
Hitoyoshi Emergency Response Headquarters With the approach of typhoon No. 8 large, at 16:00 July 9, 2014, we issued an evacuation advisory to Hitoyoshi throughout. Please evacuate early. For information about shelter locations, please visit the home page of Hitoyoshi. Contact: City Hall Hitoyoshi
人吉市災害対策本部 大型の台風８号の接近にともない、平成２６年７月９日１６時００分に、人吉市全域に避難勧告を発令しました。 早めの避難をお願いします。 避難場所については、人吉市ホームページをご覧ください。 お問い合わせ先：人吉市役所
