[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] As Typhoon Hinnamnor, the 11th typhoon, approaches, an emergency alert has been issued in the Gyeongnam region, and the Changwon Maritime Police Station in Gyeongnam has issued a "Caution" level warning under the Safety Accident Risk Forecast System.

Changwon Maritime Police plans to maintain the caution level from the afternoon of the 2nd until the weather advisory related to Typhoon Hinnamnor is lifted and will take measures to prevent safety accidents.

This is because the strong winds and heavy rain brought by the typhoon increase the risk of safety accidents for breakwater or rocky shore fishermen and coastal walkway users.

The Safety Accident Risk Forecast System's caution warning is a measure to inform the public in advance of potential dangers when there is a high likelihood of safety accidents occurring or spreading due to weather deterioration or natural disasters at dangerous locations or zones in coastal waters during specific periods, aiming to prevent accidents.

Changwon Maritime Police will control access mainly to designated coastal danger zones and conduct marine accident prevention activities targeting fishing vessels and multi-use ships.

They will strengthen safety patrols both at sea and on land and use electronic signboards at maritime police substations and branch offices, as well as disaster broadcasting systems operated by local governments, to notify the public of risk forecasts.

A maritime police official said, “Please actively cooperate by frequently checking weather information and refraining from entering coastal danger zones such as low-lying coastal areas, rocky shores, and breakwaters to help prevent accidents.”
