In response, County Governor Seo Chun-soo ordered thorough preparations during the situation assessment meeting, including real-time monitoring of the typhoon's progress, rapid dissemination of information, safety inspections of various facilities such as crops, fruit drop, vinyl greenhouses, and livestock barns, as well as continuous patrols and prompt actions in disaster-prone areas such as landslides, steep slopes, and river flooding, to ensure that no casualties occur due to Typhoon "Omais."

He also emphasized thorough pre-inspections and preparations to prevent typhoon damage to sculptures and facilities for the successful hosting of the Hamyang Wild Ginseng Anti-Aging Expo scheduled for September.

Governor Seo urged residents, stating, "Due to prior rainfall, there are concerns about property and human damage in disaster-prone areas such as landslides and river flooding.
