Search and rescue underway after Japan mudslide(土石流)

Four victims have been declared(宣告) dead, and the authorities(有關當局) are trying to determine whether the dozens who remained missing were caught up in(捲入) the disaster. They are considering releasing a list of names.
It came after more than a foot and a half of rain poured down on Atami, prompting the landslide, which destroyed more than 100 homes. Over a 72-hour period, the town was hit with 170 percent of the area’s average rainfall for July
The authorities(有關當局) in the hot spring resort town, near Mount Fuji, had warned residents but had not ordered a broad evacuation(撤離). The area is on high alert, with more heavy rain in the forecast this week. Global warming has led to(導致) an uptick(上升) in rain and flooding in Japan. Dozens of cities and towns around Tokyo have hit new rainfall records in recent days.
