Rescue crews dig through mudslides and search near swollen rivers as they look for those missing from a typhoon that left as many as 36 dead and caused serious damage in central and northern Japan
Rescue personnel carry out a rubber dinghy from the water during search and rescue operations in the aftermath of Typhoon Hagibis in Nagano on October 14, 2019.
Authorities warned more mudslides were possible with rain forecast for the affected area during the day on Monday. But many places remained flooded, with homes and surrounding roads covered in mud and littered with broken wooden pieces and debris. Some places normally dry still looked like giant rivers.
"Our response must be rapid and appropriate," Abe said, stressing that many people remained missing and damage was extensive. In such areas, rescue crew paddled in boats to each half-submerged home, calling out to anyone left stranded. An image of the aerodynamically curved bullet trains sitting in water, was seen by many as a sad but iconic symbol of the typhoon's devastation.
