Jeonnam Province Conducts On-Site Inspections and Labor Assistance for Farms in Preparation for Typhoon 'Haishen'

[Muan=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] Kim Young-rok, Governor of Jeonnam Province, personally visited farms to inspect and assist with labor in preparation for the super typhoon ‘Haishen’.

According to Jeonnam Province on the 6th, about 30 employees from the Autonomous Administration Bureau, including Governor Kim, inspected an apple farm in Samseo-myeon, Jangseong-gun, and supported the task of securing golden apple tree branches with stakes.

The 10th typhoon ‘Haishen,’ currently moving northward, is expected to pass through the East Sea without making landfall on the Korean Peninsula.

However, since the entire country will be under the typhoon’s influence with heavy rain and strong winds expected, special caution is required.

Jeonnam Province emphasized that, based on damage from previous typhoons and floods, preemptive preparation before the typhoon’s arrival is crucial, and has established proactive measures to prevent damage.

In particular, they are checking response measures in various areas such as ▲ reinforcing stakes to prevent fruit drop, maintaining drainage to prepare for crop flooding ▲ securing fishing boats, nets, gear, and construction materials ▲ urgent maintenance in areas at risk of landslides and retaining wall collapse ▲ preventing secondary damage in areas affected by recent heavy rains and typhoons, and deploying public officials to regions needing labor to carry out preventive work.

Governor Kim Young-rok of Jeonnam stated, “Although the predicted path of typhoon ‘Haishen’ has shifted eastward more than expected, its power remains strong and its radius wide, so damage could be significant. We will do our best to minimize damage through thorough preparedness and proactive measures.”
