The RED and BLACK signals warn the public of heavy rain which is likely to bring about serious road flooding and traffic congestion. Key Government departments and major transport and utility operators are put on alert. There will be flooding in some low-lying and poorly drained areas. The AMBER signal gives alert about potential heavy rain that may develop into RED or BLACK signal situations. There are three levels of warning: AMBER, RED and BLACK. It is independent of other severe weather warnings such as tropical cyclone warning and landslip warning, which will be issued separately where necessary. The rainstorm warning system is designed to alert the public about the occurrence of heavy rain which is likely to bring about major disruptions, and to ensure a state of readiness within the essential services to deal with emergencies.

Apparently the 'rules & regulations'-oriented Japanese system aggravated cinematographer Howard Atherton so much that he left and the remaining camera work was completed by Jan de Bont (who shot Die Hard and would later direct Speed). Making the film was not only grueling, but difficult as there were many clashes in the methods of Western film productions and Japanese film productions operated. Black Rain is a 1989 thriller directed by Ridley Scott and starring Michael Douglas and Andy Garcia as NYPD detectives who find themselves working with the police in Osaka, Japan to recapture the Yakuza boss they were transporting back and mistakenly let go.
