The details of each alert level are as follows:

| Alert level 5 | Life-threatening danger! Take immediate steps to ensure safety. | Emergency Safety Assurance ※1 |
| Alert level 4 | Evacuate everyone from dangerous areas. | Evacuation Order |

| Alert level 2 | Confirm your own evacuation actions in preparation for evacuation. | Heavy Rain/Flood Watch |
| Alert level 1 | Heighten your awareness of the disaster. | Early Warning Information |

※2 Alert Level 3 is when not only elderly individuals but also others should consider delaying normal activities, prepare for evacuation, and evacuate voluntarily if they feel unsafe.
