Since the 4th, the district has carried out typhoon preparedness safety inspections and measures with related departments and each neighborhood, completing inspections of a total of 929 locations including disaster prevention facilities such as detention basins and pumping stations, as well as key vulnerable areas like storm drains and construction sites.

Patrols and inspections of wind-vulnerable elements such as rooftop stored items in traditional markets, construction cranes and protective screens, and safety-vulnerable facilities have been completed, along with inspections and maintenance of outdoor signs, banners, and standing signs.

Additionally, inspections of storm drains, river facilities, and landslide-prone areas were conducted, sediment removal work in sedimentation basins was performed, and equipment and materials in each neighborhood were checked to ensure rapid emergency response during heavy rain.

Measures to prevent casualties along riverbanks have also been strengthened, with preemptive control of access to Dorimcheon Stream and evacuation guidance through announcement broadcasts planned before the issuance of typhoon preliminary warnings.

In particular, on the 6th, neighborhood administrative vehicles will conduct street broadcasts to disseminate typhoon precautions to residents, and proactive surveillance activities will be carried out in each neighborhood, focusing all efforts on preventing typhoon damage in advance.

District Mayor Park Jun-hee stated, “We will maintain a real-time response posture until the typhoon situation ends, concentrating all administrative power to prevent loss of life and property damage,” and added, “We ask all residents to closely monitor weather conditions to avoid any damage caused by the typhoon.”
