[Asia Economy Reporter La Young-cheol] Sokcho Coast Guard announced, "Typhoon No. 11 'Hinnamnor' is expected to directly and indirectly affect all seas near our country between the 4th and 7th. Accordingly, as of 12 PM on the 5th, the Regional Rescue Headquarters has activated Response Level 2 and entered emergency duty posture."

They have restricted access to dangerous areas such as rocky shores and breakwaters where casualties may occur, strengthened patrols, established cooperation systems with related agencies, and taken safety measures including urging restraint in activities at water leisure businesses.

Earlier, over the past weekend (3rd?4th), they conducted on-site inspections at local ports and harbors and accident-prone locations in preparation for the typhoon's approach. At 6 PM on the same day, the Regional Rescue Headquarters plans to activate the highest Response Level 3 to proactively respond and prevent typhoon damage.
