Question

Report Writing, the flood in Japan

Answer 1

Answer:

In late June through mid-July 2018, successive heavy downpours in southwestern Japan resulted in widespread, devastating floods and mudflows. The event is officially referred to as Heisei san-jū-nen shichi-gatsu gōu (平成30年7月豪雨, "Heavy rain of July, Heisei 30") by the Japan Meteorological Agency.[1] As of 20 July, 225 people were confirmed dead across 15 prefectures with a further 13 people reported missing.[2] More than 8 million people were advised or urged to evacuate across 23 prefectures.[3] It is the deadliest freshwater flood-related disaster in the country since the 1982 Nagasaki flood [ja] when 299 people died.[4]
