【台風９号】石垣市内は対策に追われる・明日以降の海・空・学校など影響（沖縄テレビ）2026/07/09

In Ishigaki City, where a storm warning is expected to be issued before noon on the 10th, residents were seen scrambling to prepare by securing food supplies and taking other measures. In the city center of Ishigaki, nets were being put up over the windows of buildings and shops to protect them from flying debris. Man: "It's the kind of disaster where things fly around once the wind starts blowing. There are some things we can't do, but we want to do everything we can." Man: "Q: When did you start preparing for the typhoon?" "I spent about three hours yesterday doing various things (preparations). I'm also bringing all the tables inside. I really hope we don't suffer any damage." Also, at supermarkets in the city, bottled water was sold out, as residents and tourists alike were buying drinking water and food in preparation for power outages and water shortages. Shopper: "Things that have a long shelf life." I'm thinking of buying some instant food and ice in case of a power outage. Tourist: I arrived in Okinawa today for a trip, but there's a typhoon coming tomorrow and the day after, so I'm thinking of stocking up on some food since I might not be able to get dinner. This is the impact of the typhoon on the lives of Okinawan residents. Yaeyama Prefectural Hospital and Miyako Prefectural Hospital have announced that they will suspend general outpatient services all day on the 10th. Also, all public elementary and junior high schools in the Sakishima Islands, as well as prefectural schools, will be closed on the 10th.
