[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Seong Jang-hyun, the mayor of Yongsan-gu, visited the district health center's screening clinic on the 25th to inspect the preparedness for Typhoon No. 8 'Bavi.'

The district held an emergency countermeasure meeting chaired by the mayor the day before and has been continuing to promote typhoon preparedness to residents through disaster safety text messages and social network services (SNS).

Safety inspections of flood control facilities, rainwater drains, construction sites, street trees, cut slopes, and signboards have all been completed, and hazardous trees were removed in advance. Some outdoor temporary facilities, such as air tents at the screening clinic, have also been partially dismantled.

The screening clinic will not operate on the morning of the 27th, when strong winds and heavy rain are expected, in accordance with Seoul city guidelines.

Seong Jang-hyun, mayor of Yongsan-gu, said, “In addition to the COVID-19 situation, residents are experiencing many difficulties due to the rainy season and heatwave. We will continue to patrol vulnerable areas to prevent any damage caused by the typhoon.”

The district has been operating a disaster safety countermeasure headquarters for wind and flood damage preparedness since May. Emergency duty for public officials will be implemented on the 26th and 27th. If necessary, a relief center for disaster victims will also be operated.
