Weekend Coastal Walkway High Wave Warning, Safety Measures at Construction Sites with Large Cranes, and Collision Prevention for Docked Ships

[Jeju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Park Chang-won] Jeju Special Self-Governing Province urged residents to pay attention to safety following the issuance of preliminary heavy rain and strong wind warnings across the province.

The Jeju Regional Meteorological Administration forecasted that rain would begin around 12 PM to 3 PM on the 25th, mainly in the mountainous and southern areas, expanding to the entire region after 6 PM, with heavy rain continuing from 9 AM to 12 PM on the 26th.

In particular, very heavy rain exceeding 30mm per hour is expected in the mountainous and southern areas of Jeju Island from night on the 25th to early morning on the 26th.

Additionally, from the afternoon of the 25th to the morning of the 26th, very strong winds with speeds of 10 to 18 m/s (gusts of 20 to 25 m/s) are forecasted in Jeju, and waves at sea are expected to be very high, ranging from 2 to 6 meters.

Jeju Province requested related departments and administrative cities to thoroughly manage safety, focusing on areas at risk of casualties, to prevent damage from heavy rain and strong winds.

Jeju Province also urged caution to prevent safety accidents caused by heavy rain and strong winds.

To prevent heavy rain damage, residents are advised to maintain drainage around their homes, avoid entering flood-prone areas, and stay away from landslide risk zones (mountainous and valley areas), as well as riverbanks and coastal areas to avoid being swept away by rapid currents.

Furthermore, to prevent strong wind damage, outdoor construction sites, vinyl greenhouses, outdoor advertising boards, large cranes, and other vulnerable facilities should be inspected in advance, and pedestrians should be cautious of falling objects.

To prevent damage from high waves, avoid accessing coastal walking paths and take preemptive measures to prevent collisions with moored vessels.

Jeju Province stated, “From 6 PM today, the Provincial Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters will enter an emergency duty system to do its best to protect the safety of residents.”
