[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Haenam County announced on the 25th that it held a situation assessment meeting on the 24th, presided over by County Governor Myeong Hyeon-gwan, with all department heads and town/myeon chiefs gathered in response to the approach of Typhoon No. 8 ‘Bavi’.

At the meeting, weather conditions and departmental response plans were reported, and preparations such as citizen safety, crop management, and inspection of major facilities were reviewed.

In addition, on-site inspections and surveillance activities were conducted by each department to check safety measures in vulnerable areas, and a comprehensive inspection was carried out on disaster-prone areas including farmland, fishing ports, and large construction sites.

Haenam County plans to focus administrative efforts on preventing typhoon damage by operating the Disaster Safety Countermeasures Headquarters from 6 p.m. on the 25th and implementing emergency duty for staff.

This typhoon is expected to be similar in scale to last year’s Lingling, with particularly strong winds anticipated, so thorough preemptive measures are being emphasized to prevent damage to fisheries breeding and aquaculture facilities, vinyl greenhouses, ship lifting, and fruit drop in orchards.

Governor Myeong Hyeon-gwan said, “Related departments should thoroughly inspect typhoon preparedness and ensure systematic response in case of disaster situations,” and added, “We ask the citizens to pay attention to weather conditions related to the typhoon and to follow the guidance provided through broadcasts or disaster messages to prevent any damage.”
