[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] On the afternoon of the 26th, Yoodonggyun, Mayor of Mapo-gu, visited the Mapo-gu Public Health Center screening clinic and the World Cup Bridge construction site with Seo Jeong-hyeop, Acting Mayor of Seoul, to conduct safety inspections in preparation for damage caused by Typhoon Bavi.

On this day, Seo Jeong-hyeop, Acting Mayor of Seoul, visited Mapo-gu for an on-site inspection due to concerns about damage from the northward-approaching Typhoon Bavi, which is following a path similar to past typhoons such as Typhoon Lingling that caused significant damage.

Mayor Yoodonggyun of Mapo-gu and Acting Mayor Seo Jeong-hyeop encouraged the public health center staff who have been working hard amid the recent spread of COVID-19 at the Mapo-gu Public Health Center screening clinic, and together they dismantled waiting tents that could be dangerous if blown down by strong winds.

They then visited the World Cup Bridge construction site to check facility safety and typhoon preparedness, urging thorough management of facilities to withstand strong winds.

Meanwhile, Mapo-gu has conducted preemptive preparations such as facility safety inspections in anticipation of Typhoon Bavi’s landfall in the Seoul metropolitan area, and has established an emergency standby system to do its best to ensure the safety of residents and minimize typhoon damage.
