The Japan Financial Insurance Industry Association said that in response to the torrential rain disaster in Chiba Prefecture near Tokyo in August, the Japan Property Insurance Company is expected to pay about 35.4 billion yen to policyholders. The association said that after the strong earthquake hit Kumamoto Prefecture in southern Japan, insurance companies have paid about 23.7 billion yen to policyholders. As Tropical Storm Azalea approaches Japan, the eastern region of Japan has experienced record rainfall for two consecutive weeks, increasing the risk of landslides and floods.
