Mokpo Maritime Police plans to maintain the rescue response posture of field departments such as patrol vessels and substations in accordance with the monsoon and typhoon season until October, and to share information on vulnerable marine areas in real time to preemptively block risk factors.

In addition, the Maritime Police will organize an emergency activation system to ensure the regional rescue headquarters can operate swiftly, and upon the announcement of typhoon warnings, will control vessel departures and provide real-time weather information according to relevant laws to encourage the prompt early evacuation of ships.

Furthermore, to proactively respond during typhoon invasions, they plan to discuss countermeasures with related organizations and conduct joint inspections of vulnerable locations, thereby strengthening the civil-government-military cooperation system.

A representative of Mokpo Maritime Police stated, “We will do our best in preventive activities together with related organizations to minimize damage caused by the monsoon and typhoons,” and added, “We ask marine and fisheries workers to frequently inspect the safety of vessels and facilities whenever weather warnings are issued.”
