<Information on floods>
●According to the Flood Control Act, flood inundation anticipated areas are regions designated by the prefectural governor based on expected rainfall levels. These areas represent the extent and depth of flooding that may occur during river flooding events caused by heavy rainfall, whether on the maximum expected scale or the planned scale.
Even when rainfall levels are lower than expected, flooding is possible, so residents living near rivers or in areas with significant inundation depths should pay close attention to rainfall conditions.
The following are the assumed maximum rainfall amounts for each river basin, which serve as the basis for calculation:
| ○Tokoro River | ：Total rainfall of 280 mm over 12 hours |
| ○Muka River | ：Total rainfall of 280 mm over 12 hours |
| ○Saromabetsu River | ：Total rainfall of 190 mm over 4 hours |
| ○Komachi River | ：Total rainfall of 136 mm over 2 hours |
| ○Kunneppu River | ：Total rainfall of 214 mm over 4 hours |

| ○Ponnikoro River | ：Total rainfall of 135 mm over 1 hours |
| ○Kaneonai River | ：Total rainfall of 125 mm over 1 hours |
| ○Rukushinikoro River | ：Total rainfall of 156 mm over 2 hours |
| ○Ketobetsu River | ：Total rainfall of 125 mm over 1 hours |
| ○Ponketobetsu River | ：Total rainfall of 125 mm over 1 hours |
| ○Onneshirukutaushinai River | ：Total rainfall of 125 mm over 1 hours |

<Information on landslide disasters>
●Based on the Act on Sediment Disaster Countermeasures for Sediment Disaster Prone Areas (commonly known as the "Sediment Disaster Prevention Act"), Sediment disaster warning areas ("yellow zones") and sediment disaster special warning areas ("red zones") are designated by Hokkaido Prefecture as areas where there is a risk of harm to residents in the event of cliff failure or debris flows.
●This Website was created for the purpose of providing information for evacuation behavior and activities when there is a risk of sediment disasters due to heavy rain, etc. by displaying areas that are at risk of sediment disasters, which lets residents know when that risk is present in areas near their residences.
＜Information on Tsunami＞
●Tsunami disaster alert areas are areas designated by the prefectural governor where there is a risk of harm to the lives or bodies of residents in the event of a tsunami of the largest class, and where alert and evacuation systems must be set up so that residents can "escape" from tsunamis in order to prevent casualties.
●The reference water levels, which are announced when areas are designated, clarify the height at which one is safe from a tsunami, serving as a guide for efficient development of evacuation facilities and thus enabling highly effective evacuation measures.
●As tsunamis are natural phenomena that are inherently unpredictable, actual tsunamis may be larger than the tsunami inundation estimates provided here.
