[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] Yeongam-gun announced on the 4th that it has activated an emergency system to ensure safety and minimize damage in response to the northward approach of the super typhoon ‘Hinnamdo’.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, the typhoon is expected to move over the sea about 460 km south-southwest of Seogwipo at 9 a.m. on the 5th, approach the sea about 30 km east of Seogwipo at 3 a.m. on the 6th, and dissipate as an extratropical cyclone over the East Sea on the 7th.

Accordingly, Yeongam-gun held an emergency meeting to prepare for typhoon ‘Hinnamdo’ and carried out rainstorm countermeasures and preemptive measures against strong winds by sector.

As a preemptive measure to achieve zero casualties, on-site inspections were strengthened in ▲landslide risk areas ▲habitual flooding zones ▲steep slopes. In particular, early harvesting of crops was encouraged, and plastic greenhouses were secured, with agricultural facilities also inspected.

County Governor Woo Seung-hee said, “We will do our utmost to prepare for the typhoon by establishing a cooperative system among public officials and related organizations to prevent casualties and property damage to residents from this typhoon.”
