Meteorological Office and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.
(2) If a ballistic missile hits Hiroshima Prefecture, all classes on all campuses shall be simultaneously cancelled.

2. Simultaneous cancellation of classes with executive judgement
In the following cases, when the Executive determines it would be difficult to hold classes on various campuses, all classes on the campus(es) in question that are to be held on that day shall be concurrently cancelled. When classes on Kasumi Campus (Higashi Senda Campus) are concurrently canceled due to the events (1) to (5), concurrent cancelation of all classes shall similarly take place on Higashi Senda Campus (Kasumi Campus).
A guide to the scope of the class periods to be concurrently cancelled and the time of the decision is as follows in 3.

(5) When it is necessary to ensure the safety of students and employees due to the risk of a ballistic missile or debris from a destroyed ballistic missile falling in areas including Hiroshima Prefecture.
(6) When circumstances arise making it difficult for students and employees to commute to the university
(7) When other incidents/accidents, etc. occur and entrance to campus is restricted
