[Asia Economy Reporter Ra Young-cheol] Gangwon Province has decided to raise the disaster safety countermeasure headquarters' alert level in response to the northward approach of Typhoon No. 11 'Hinnamnor'.

The province has been operating Disaster Safety Countermeasure Headquarters Level 1 since 4 PM and Level 2 since 5 PM on the 4th.

On the same day, the province confirmed the typhoon response status by city and county and discussed supplementary measures at a meeting chaired by the Deputy Governor, attended by five provincial offices and 18 city and county deputy heads.

In particular, since second damage is feared in Hongcheon-gun and Hoengseong-gun, which suffered damage from heavy rain in early last month, all efforts will be mobilized for focused response.

To prevent damage caused by 'Hinnamnor,' the province has completed 12,685 preemptive measures across 13 detailed items in four areas (prevention of human casualties, prevention of recurrence of heavy rain damage, prevention of strong wind damage, and management of fisheries coastal facilities).

Major measures include 681 safety measures in habitual flood-prone areas, 468 safety measures in steep slopes and landslide-prone areas, 491 maintenance works on underground facilities such as roadside drainage, 142 securing works for tower cranes at large construction sites, and 9,149 safety inspections, removals, and reinforcements of outdoor advertisements.

Additionally, typhoon information, weather conditions, and citizen action guidelines will be provided to residents through disaster text messages, TV captions, village broadcasts, early warning facilities, and disaster electronic display boards.

Meanwhile, related organizations such as Korea Electric Power Corporation and Korea Water Resources Corporation are also implementing measures such as pre-release of dams in vulnerable areas, and the province plans to ensure thorough typhoon preparedness through close cooperation with these organizations.
