Pohang City Hall.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Pohang City held an emergency countermeasure meeting chaired by Mayor Kangdeok Lee on the 2nd in the city hall's main conference room as Typhoon No. 11 ‘Hinnamnor’ approached.

At the meeting, the weather situation, the expected typhoon path, and the measures and response plans of 14 related organizations and departments were intensively discussed.

The city decided to strengthen continuous patrol activities in disaster-prone areas such as landslides, steep slopes, riverside parking lots, and flood-prone roads, and plans to thoroughly manage typhoon preparedness by inspecting flood control materials and equipment.

As damage from strong winds and heavy rain is expected, preventive measures will be taken for crop management in orchards, farms, and vinyl greenhouses, as well as for vulnerable facilities such as falling objects. Inspections of vulnerable sites will be strengthened, including encouraging early return of fishing boats in preparation for high waves.

Mayor Kangdeok Lee said, “We will continuously monitor the weather situation and strengthen inspection activities at disaster-vulnerable sites by response departments to minimize damage ahead of the Chuseok holiday. We also ask citizens to familiarize themselves with national action guidelines and do their best to prepare in advance.”
