the power of nature

Do you remember that the 26th typhoon of the year attacked Japan last week, don't you?
I found the editorials about it on Japan times.

the typhoon has left great damage in the places of Japan, and at least 51 people have been dead or missing on Tokyo's Izu-Oshima. The auther said even though it was known early that the typhoon would be so strong, preparations were not adequate for the typhoon. The local government must realize that conditions can change rapidly, pay attention to experts' opinions, and take all necessary measures to protect the residents, the auther argue too.

 This article reminds me of damage caused by the 26th typhoon of the year. I saw some news on twitter, and I found a tweet about great damage caused by heavy rain. In Narita, haevy rain caused landslide, and Keisei Narita line was damaged.



At kesei Narita station!!

Anyway, the 27th and 28th typhoon of the year are comming to Japan, so we need preparations to protect ourselves. In addition, local government must warn the resident of danger caused by them as soon as posible when local governments notice it.

Questions
1: What should central and local governments do for preparing natural disaster?
2: What should resident do when they got warning?
