[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] On the 16th, as 1 to 3 cm of snow is forecasted in the Seoul metropolitan area, the Seoul Metropolitan Government announced that it will operate the snow removal situation room from 6 p.m. on the same day and issue Snow Removal Level 1 at 8 a.m., entering an emergency work system.

Snow removal vehicles and equipment will be deployed forward, and signs of snowfall will be detected in advance through CCTVs installed along the snowfall movement route in the West Sea region. Snow removal agents will be sprayed first on vulnerable roads such as alleys and steep slopes.

In addition, snow removal boxes located in alleys and steep slopes will be replenished with snow removal agents and equipment so that anyone can easily use them.

Han Je-hyun, Director of Safety General Office of Seoul City, urged, “Even after the snow falls, the subzero cold will continue, and roads may freeze to create icy roads, so please refrain from driving private cars. Since a large amount of snow is forecasted, please actively participate in clearing snow in front of your home and store.”
