On June 16, Fukuoka Prefecture launched a new program to provide disaster information for selected municipalities via LINE. Designed to support local residents and their families living in outer regions, evacuation notices, including ‘early evacuation for the elderly,’ would be immediately shared as a LINE message. Users can choose up to three regions for this system. Source: Fukuoka Prefecture / TNC / FNN
