From August 10 to 11, 2025, the northern area of Kyushu experienced record-breaking rainfall caused by a linear rainband.
Rivers overflowed, roads were flooded, and some residents had to evacuate. In certain areas, there were also power outages and transportation disruptions.

During situations like these—or even in daily life—two LINE accounts can be extremely useful:

Fukuoka City Official LINE Account
Fukuoka Yokatopia Foundation International Exchange Official LINE Account

By adding both accounts, you can receive not only disaster alerts, but also daily life information and event announcements for foreign residents.
