[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Kim Dong-yeon, Governor of Gyeonggi Province, has issued a special directive to the 31 cities and counties within the province to thoroughly manage safety in order to prevent damage from the approaching Typhoon No. 11, 'Hinnamnor.'

On the 2nd, Gyeonggi Province announced that it sent an official document titled "Special Directive from the Governor for Preparing for the Approach of Typhoon No. 11 Hinnamnor" to the 31 cities and counties in the province.

Through the special directive, Governor Kim urged thorough preparations to ensure no casualties occur due to Typhoon Hinnamnor and requested measures to prevent secondary damage like the flooding damage experienced last month.

Following Governor Kim's directive, the province will organize inspection teams consisting of 31 groups and 50 members to conduct on-site preliminary checks over two days, on the 4th and 5th, in disaster-vulnerable areas across the 31 cities and counties. Any deficiencies found will be addressed immediately.

Additionally, the province, in cooperation with each city and county, will inspect steep slopes, landslide-prone areas, retaining walls and embankments at risk of collapse, and low-lying flood-prone areas, preparing for rapid evacuation in case of dangerous situations.

Furthermore, preemptive access control will be enforced for fishermen, tourists, and residents in hazardous areas such as coastal zones, breakwaters, and rivers.

To prevent safety accidents among campers in mountainous and valley areas, on-site guidance and information dissemination will be strengthened, and surveillance will be expanded to prevent damage to agricultural and fishery facilities.

Inspections will also cover reinforcements for vulnerable facilities such as tower cranes and drainage systems at construction sites.

Meanwhile, Typhoon No. 11 Hinnamnor is expected to affect Gyeonggi Province from the 4th to the 6th. The forecasted rainfall is 30-70mm on the 4th and 70-140mm on the 5th.
