Was Evacuating Over 1 Million People for Typhoon Jangmi Justified?

Question

As Typhoon Jangmi wreaked havoc across Japan, evacuating more than 1 million residents was seen as a precautionary measure. Some argue it was crucial to prevent loss of life and property damage, while others question if it was an overreaction given the actual impact.

Answer

While understandable, evacuating such a large number of people can be disruptive and costly. The actual damage caused suggests the evacuation orders might have been overly cautious given the limited injuries and property damage.
