Jeju Coast Guard Raises Coastal Safety Accident Risk Forecast System to 'Advisory' Level

[Jeju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Jeongpil] The Jeju Maritime Police announced on the 16th that from the 17th, when weather deterioration is expected due to the influence of a cold continental high-pressure system moving southeast from northern China, until the weather improves and weather warnings are lifted, they will issue a "caution" level alert under the Coastal Safety Accident Risk Forecast System.

The Coastal Safety Accident Risk Forecast System is a system that, according to the Coastal Accident Prevention Act, divides risk levels into "interest," "caution," and "warning" stages to inform the public in advance of the risk of repeated or continuous safety accidents caused by weather deterioration or natural disasters during specific periods in coastal areas, thereby preventing accidents.

During the risk forecast period, the Jeju Maritime Police will strengthen safety management for water recreation visitors at coastal areas, ports, and harbors, inspect safety management facilities, and provide safety guidance and marine safety information through the police station website, police substation electronic signboards, and banners.

A Jeju Maritime Police official said, "Heavy snow, strong winds, and high waves are expected over the weekend, so please refrain from entering dangerous areas such as coastal zones and breakwaters."
