[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters held a meeting on the 24th to review the response situation to Typhoon 'Omais.'

At this meeting, attended by deputy heads of local governments in typhoon-affected areas and on-site situation managers, the damage caused by the typhoon overnight and the response status were reviewed, along with forecasts of continued heavy rain and response plans for the near future.

Jeon Hae-cheol, head of the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters (Minister of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety), emphasized that as the preceding rainfall continues to accumulate, the possibility of damage is increasing, and requested continuous inspections and necessary measures in mountainous valleys, riversides, and low-lying areas where there is a risk of casualties.

He stated, "Although the typhoon has passed, heavy rain is expected to continue, so we cannot let our guard down," and urged, "Especially in places where damage occurred last night, please carry out emergency restoration quickly to prevent secondary damage."
