Search and rescue underway after Japan mudslide(土石流)

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.
