Seoul City, Autonomous Districts, and Related Organizations Emergency Duty System

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] On the 29th, Seoul City announced that due to a forecast of 1 to 5 cm of snow in the metropolitan area on the 30th, it will issue Snow Removal Level 1 from midnight and enter an emergency duty system together with autonomous districts and related organizations.

As the temperature is currently dropping and the cold continues, and with snow forecasted on the 30th, the city will issue Snow Removal Level 1 from midnight and deploy snow removal vehicles and equipment in advance to prepare for the snowfall.

Through CCTVs installed along the snowfall movement path in the West Sea area, early signs of snowfall are detected in advance, and snow removal agents are sprayed first on vulnerable roads such as alleys and steep slopes. Snow removal boxes stocked with agents and equipment are replenished in alleys and steep slopes so that anyone can easily use them.

Han Je-hyun, Director General of Safety at Seoul City, urged, “If snow falls while the temperature is low, there may be icy road sections, so citizens are advised to refrain from driving private cars and actively participate in snow clearing in front of their homes and stores, as a large amount of snow is forecasted.”
