[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Jeongpil] Jeju Seogwipo Maritime Police Station (Chief Do Gi-beom) announced that it will activate the typhoon response headquarters and enter an emergency duty system from 9 a.m. on the 24th due to the northward approach of Typhoon No. 8 "Bavi."

Seogwipo Maritime Police held a situation assessment meeting on the 23rd to analyze the typhoon's path and impact, and activated the typhoon response headquarters composed of function-specific response teams.

At the frontline police substations, with the coastal safety accident risk forecast upgraded to a "warning," safety management has been strengthened by patrolling dangerous areas such as coastlines and breakwaters and checking the safety status of fishing vessels sheltering in various ports and harbors.

Additionally, through patrol vessels on duty, 35 distant-water fishing vessels operating south of Seogwipo were instructed to evacuate in advance to safe waters, and typhoon information is being provided frequently to navigating ships.

Do Gi-beom, Chief of Seogwipo Maritime Police Station, urged, "To minimize typhoon damage, all citizens should frequently check weather information and broadcasts related to the typhoon's northward movement and exercise special caution by refraining from entering breakwaters, rocky shores, and coastlines where surge waves and fall accidents pose significant risks."
