The Japan Coast Guard has issued a second-level alert and evacuation advisory for various ports in the Izu Peninsula and Izu Islands, including Shimoda Port, due to an approaching typhoon.

As of August 11, 2026, vessels are instructed to complete storm preparations and maintain strict vigilance. Ships with a gross tonnage of 1,000 tons or more are generally required to evacuate outside the offshore breakwaters.
