Japanese to English: Map of areas at risk of landslide and areas with increased risk of landslide
Source text - Japanese この浸水想定区域等は、指定時点の木曽川の河道の整備状況、丸山・阿木川・味噌川・岩屋ダムの洪水調節施設の状況を勘案して、洪水防御に関する計画の基本となる基準地点（犬山）において、概ね２００年に１回程度、また犬山より上流の今渡地点において、概ね１００年に１回程度起こると想定される洪水により木曽川がはん濫した場合の浸水状況を、シミュレーションにより予測したものです。
なお、このシミュレーションの実施に当たっては、支川のはん濫、想定を超える降雨、高潮、内水によるはん濫等を考慮していませんので、この浸水想定区域に指定されていない区域においても浸水が発生する場合や、想定される水深が実際の浸水深と異なる場合があります。
Translation - English This area of predicted flooding is calculated based on a simulation of what would happen if the Kiso river overflowed due to elevated water levels at Inuyama (used as a reference point for creating flood prevention plans), predicted as occurring approximately once every 200 years, and at Imawatari (further upstream of Inuyama), predicted as occurring approximately once every 100 years. This simulation has taken into consideration the progress of maintenance on Kiso river channel, and the conditions of flood control facilities at Maruyama, Agigawa, Misogawa, and Iwaya Dams.
During the simulation, situations like subsidiary streams overflowing, heavier than expected rain, flood tides, or flooding of other inland bodies of water were not taken into account; therefor, floods may occur in areas not designated on this flood simulation map or the actual depth of the water may be different to the predicted depth.

Who am I?
I come from a small town in rural Australia, with a passion for travel, learning and meeting new people. I have spent most of my adult life pursuing the study of Japanese language. I love the new ways in which it makes me think, and the challenge of expressing myself in a different culture.
After a total of 6 years in Japan I relocated back to Australia in August 2014.
What experience do I have?
I have three years experience in translation working for a prefectural government institution in Japan, completing in-house translations and translations on request for local governments.
I have worked full time as a freelance translator since August 2014 in my home in Perth.
I am able to translate a wide variety of documents in the field of business, including documents relating to tourism, marketing, and business letters.
What are my ethics?
Through my experience in creating translations that act as a lifeline for residents of Japan with no literacy in the Japanese language, I have developed a work ethic that drives me to create translations that are catered for the readership, culturally sensitive, are easy to understand while maintaining accuracy for both native and non-native speakers of English, and need minimal or no editing.
I am looking forwards to cooperating with you.
