Kirk here with an Aljazeera article. The image is similar to one in an NHK article I posted but the content is somewhat different.

For links to previous posts of mine regarding how to decide if you, in your specific circumstances, should shelter at home or go to a shelter, see the following: https://www.facebook.com/Kumamotoi/posts/pfbid0zSoJh7mtcX9FmpxnA5DxL2i3bVhpNkKT6BHSUWMgXJdNYVkdAxqX5ZSWkAeBjgKzl

If you are in Kumamoto City and need to look for a shelter, I recommend the following page:

https://city-kumamoto.secure.force.com

It’s in Japanese but it has a Google translating function built in (Good job! Kumamoto City!). It also has a link that uses your GPS information to give you a list of the closest shelters. Pretty cool. Even if you don’t need to go to a shelter, I think it’s interesting to see what shelters have opened up in your neighborhood and how many people are there. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/9/17/typhoon-nanmadol-japan-urges-nearly-2-million-to-seek-shelter
