Suwon Mayor Lee Jae-jun: "Let's Stay Alert Until We Are Out of the Typhoon's Impact Zone"

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Suwon Mayor Lee Jae-jun urged active support so that citizens can respond appropriately to Typhoon 'Hinnamnor'.

On the 5th, Mayor Lee presided over the 'Typhoon No. 11 Hinnamnor Northward Preparation Status Report Meeting' held at the City Hall Disaster Safety Situation Room, saying, "Do not let your guard down until we are completely out of the typhoon's influence zone, and do your best to prevent casualties," emphasizing, "The efforts of public officials are a great force in protecting citizens' safety."

He added, "Thoroughly prepare so that households that suffered flood damage from two heavy rains last summer do not suffer damage again," and "If damage occurs, immediately activate the response system and restore quickly."

As of 5 a.m. on the 5th, Hinnamnor is moving northward at 22 km/h about 550 km south-southwest of Seogwipo. The Korea Meteorological Administration expects most regions nationwide to be under the influence of Hinnamnor on the 5th and 6th, with 100 to 300 mm of rain expected nationwide.

Since the 1st, Suwon City has been inspecting all facilities vulnerable to typhoon damage, including large construction sites (157 locations) protective screens, tower cranes, temporary facilities, religious facilities (steeples), public sports facilities, drainage outlets, sunshades, signboards, rooftop sculptures, and banners. Flood-prone areas and rivers are continuously being inspected on-site.

In semi-basement row houses that suffered flood damage last summer, flood prevention materials such as pumps and sandbags have been placed. Hiking courses in Gwanggyosan and Chilbosan have been temporarily closed.
