Heavy rain from Typhoon Dujuan triggered landslides across Chiba and Kanagawa prefectures, leaving seven people dead and five missing by 8 p.m. on September 22, authorities reported. Both prefectures requested Self-Defense Forces disaster deployments, while police, firefighters and SDF personnel searched for missing residents. In Sodegaura, a 51-year-old man died after the heavy machine he was using to clear earth fell from a cliff. A woman in her 70s died when a landslide collapsed a house in Sanmu; Kanagawa separately reported one death in Yokosuka and four people missing in Yokosuka and Miura.
