We would like to extend our deepest sympathies to all those affected by Typhoon No.14The Meteorological Agency appealed exceptional caution by saying, “It will be the record heavy rain once in several decades”. Because people responded to the appeal of the Meteorological Agency, compared with the preterite example, it did not expand to an unprecedented catastrophic disaster. Probably many people understand the fear of catastrophic disaster and have improved the preparation more than before. This is big progress for a disaster-prone country Japan.
