[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] The Korea Forest Service has downgraded the nationwide landslide risk alert level to ‘Interest’.


The Korea Forest Service Landslide Prevention Support Headquarters announced on the 16th at 9 a.m. that the landslide risk alert for 17 cities and provinces nationwide has been downgraded to ‘Interest’.


The downgrade of the landslide risk alert is a measure taken because the heavy rain warnings and landslide forecasts issued nationwide have all been lifted, the 53-day-long rainy season has ended, expected rainfall has decreased, and the risk of landslides has been reduced.


The landslide risk alert is divided into four levels: Interest, Caution, Warning, and Severe.



Meanwhile, since the 13th, the Korea Forest Service has been investigating forest damage together with the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, local governments, and private experts, and plans to promptly promote permanent restoration of forest damage areas caused by heavy rain based on the investigation results.
