Abstract

The chapter delves into the escalating threat of rainfall-induced disasters in Japan, with a focus on significant events such as the 2013 Izu Oshima Island disaster. It discusses the increasing frequency and intensity of heavy rainfall, backed by data from the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT). The author also explores the potential impact of global warming on these disasters, presenting historical climate data and discussing the vulnerability of regions like Fukuoka Prefecture. The chapter further analyzes the historical trends of rainfall-induced disasters, highlighting the decreasing trend in damage size from the 1980s to the 2010s and the recent increase in vulnerability. It concludes with recommendations for improved disaster mitigation strategies, emphasizing the importance of individual and community efforts alongside traditional measures like dams and levees.
