Japan begins clean up after worst storm in decades

Over 110,000 people are taking part in search and rescue operations after typhoon hagibis struck Japan on Saturday.

Thousands of police officers, fire fighters, coast guard, and military are working to reach those trapped by landslides and floods.

In the central prefecture of Nagano, group of rescuers wearing snorkels and goggles began searching for survivors in waist-high water.

The prime minister’s office of Japan said the rescuers would focus on houses isolated by floods and search for those unaccounted for.

Authorities warned that more mudslides are possible with more rain forecast.
