[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gwanak-gu (District Mayor Park Jun-hee) conducted an emergency inspection of flood control facilities and vulnerable risk areas in preparation for the approach of Typhoon Maysak, the 9th typhoon of the season.

On August 31 and September 1, the district completed inspections of a total of 929 key vulnerable sites including disaster prevention facilities, rainwater drains, and construction sites, conducting typhoon preparedness safety checks and measures by related departments and each neighborhood.

Patrols and inspections of 21 traditional markets, construction sites, and safety-vulnerable facilities susceptible to strong winds were completed, along with checks and maintenance of outdoor signs, banners, and standing signs.

Additionally, inspections of rainwater drains, river facilities, and landslide-prone areas were carried out, including removal of sediment from sedimentation tanks, and equipment and materials in each neighborhood were checked to ensure rapid emergency response and restoration support during heavy rain.

In particular, to prevent casualties along riverbanks, the district plans to strengthen preventive measures by preemptively restricting access to Dorimcheon Stream and actively encouraging evacuation through announcement broadcasts before the typhoon preliminary warning is issued.

District Mayor Park Jun-hee stated, “Above all, the frontline neighborhood community centers, which know the sites best, will take the lead, and through active cooperation and support from related district departments, we will thoroughly prepare for Typhoon Maysak.” He added, “We ask all residents to closely monitor weather conditions to prevent any loss of life or property damage caused by the typhoon.”
