National Landslide Warning Level Lowered to 'Attention'

[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] The Korea Forest Service's Landslide Prevention Support Headquarters announced on the 27th at 10 a.m. that the nationwide landslide warning level for 17 cities and provinces will be downgraded from 'Alert' to 'Attention.'

The downgrade in the warning level occurred as Typhoon No. 8 'Bavi' made landfall in North Korea and weakened, leading to the lifting of the typhoon advisory and a reduced risk of landslides.

Previously, as Typhoon Bavi approached South Korea, the Korea Forest Service had raised the landslide warning level to 'Alert' for 14 cities and provinces nationwide, excluding Daegu, Ulsan, and Gyeongbuk, as of 7 p.m. on the 25th.

A Korea Forest Service official stated, "We will promptly investigate the damage caused by Typhoon Bavi and carry out swift recovery efforts based on the investigation results."
