[Asia Economy Reporter Baek Kyunghwan] President Yoon Suk-yeol will personally preside over a meeting on the 4th at the Yongsan Presidential Office building to prepare for Typhoon Hinnamnor, the 11th typhoon of the season.

According to the Presidential Office, President Yoon will receive a briefing on the typhoon's path and impact at the Presidential Office Crisis Management Center in the afternoon, as the typhoon is expected to make landfall on the southern coast of Gyeongnam. He will urge preemptive measures to minimize damage.

The day before, President Yoon, having been informed that Typhoon Hinnamnor is expected to cause direct damage across the country, instructed the Minister of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety to establish the highest level of typhoon response, including the preemptive activation of the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters. He also received real-time phone reports from Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, which is responsible for disaster safety, and the Presidential Office's National Situation Room, emphasizing thorough preparedness.

It is reported that all ministers and heads of agencies will attend the meeting via video conference. Staff members from the Presidential Office will also be present. President Yoon plans to review not only the preliminary checks but also the emergency response system during the typhoon's landfall, rapid damage recovery, and structural issues afterward.
