A heavy rainfall caused by a severe depression occurred in northern Japan from October 6 to 9, 2006. Based on data from the Japan Meteorological Agency, the highest 1-hour precipitation records since 1979 were revised at 0 observatories, the highest 24-hour precipitation records were revised at 15 observatories, and the highest 48-hour precipitation records were revised at 30 observatories as a result of this rainfall. Due to this heavy rainfall, 1, 314 houses were inundated. One person was killed by the disaster in Kuzumaki town, Iwate prefecture. He evacuated from his house to public shelter after evacuation counsel. However, he went out from the shelter before cancellation of the evacuation counsel, and he fell to river and died. He is presumed to have died on October 7, so the neighbor had noticed his missing on October 10. He did not have a family, and farmed only for himself. It is possible that his lifestyle caused the delay in acknowledgment of missing. We must draw attention to the vulnerability of single household for disaster. According to the database of 154 victims caused by resent heavy rainfall, there were 4 victims who went out shelter before cancellation of the evacuation counsel and died. Namely, this type victim is not rare case. They had worries about their house and others. Communication of disaster information is necessary not only to residents at home but evacuated persons.
