County Governor Oh Gyu-seok ordered, "Waste or piled materials left on sidewalks, national roads, local roads, and expressways may be blown away by strong winds and cause secondary accidents, so thoroughly clean up sidewalks and road surroundings in advance."

Governor Oh also said, "Release water in reservoirs and small ponds within the jurisdiction in advance, and coordinate with the Korea Rural Community Corporation to adjust water levels in Byeongsan and Yongcheon reservoirs to implement safety measures in preparation for the typhoon."

Since the 31st of last month, Gijang-gun has been conducting preemptive safety measures and preventive activities for vulnerable facilities and areas through on-site patrols by relevant departments.

Depending on the typhoon situation, Gijang-gun plans to send disaster alert messages and activate the Gijang-gun Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters to enter an emergency system step by step.
