[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] The Muan Fire Station in Jeonnam (Chief Park Won-guk) announced on the 23rd that with the official start of the rainy season on the 24th, there is a high risk of flood damage caused by localized heavy rains in the region, urging special caution.

The rainy season generally begins in mid-June, lasts about 32 days on average based on the normal period (1981?2010), and ends in late July.

To prevent flood damage, the Muan Fire Station is strengthening patrol activities in areas prone to damage such as riversides and lowlands, conducting on-site inspections of habitual flood-prone areas within the jurisdiction, and checking various flood control equipment and fire pump trucks.

A representative from the Muan Fire Station said, “Before heavy rain falls, please check the drains in your house and around your home, and pay special attention to safety when camping in valleys to prepare for sudden heavy rain.” They also urged, “Since visibility on rainy roads decreases and some roads become slippery, drivers should be especially careful.”

Chief Park Won-guk stated, “There are cases of damage caused by unexpected heavy rains during the summer,” and added, “We ask residents to pay attention to weather information and actively cooperate by checking drainage systems.”
