Eunpyeong-gu Conducts Emergency Facility Inspections in Preparation for Typhoon No. 8 'Bavi'
Thorough Inspection and Maintenance of Redevelopment Maintenance Zones, Large Construction Sites, and Signboards to Minimize Damage
[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Eunpyeong-gu (District Mayor Kim Mi-kyung) conducted pre-inspections and maintenance of large construction sites and old houses starting from the 24th to prevent accidents in preparation for Typhoon No. 8 "Bavi," which is currently moving northward.
They secured the currently installed shade tents, dismantled the tents at the district office's screening clinic, took preemptive measures for street trees and other vegetation at risk of toppling, and inspected seven locations including landslide-prone areas and heatwave shelters with tents.
Additionally, pre-inspections were carried out on large construction sites and old houses, taking preventive actions to minimize typhoon damage by removing or securing vulnerable facilities (such as tower cranes and protective screens) and temporary fences around construction sites that are at risk of collapse or toppling.
Furthermore, patrols were intensified to prevent wind and flood damage to old houses’ fences, roofs, stone walls, and exterior walls to alleviate residents' concerns. Patrols to prevent road potholes were also strengthened, and road obstructions and store signs were inspected at 12 traditional markets and large-scale stores.
Eunpyeong-gu plans to continuously inspect vulnerable facilities until the typhoon passes, maintain an emergency work system depending on the typhoon’s path, and keep an emergency contact system for river control, mobilized equipment, and recovery personnel to minimize damage.
