The recent heavy rains led to at least one evacuation order (Ushibuka in Amakusa) and this landslide in Sakamoto Machi (in the Yatsushiro area).
Other responsibilities prevented me from sharing warnings, etc. here, but I have some links on my “Kumamoto Links” page that may be helpful if the rains get heavy again. Look in “Weather” section for the “Kumamoto Disaster Prevention Information” links:
