Earlier, Changwon Special City issued an evacuation order from the 15th to the 16th in accordance with Article 40, Paragraph 1 of the “Framework Act on the Management of Disasters and Safety” to prepare for heavy rain until the order is lifted.

Accordingly, the city designated 55 evacuation sites, including the village hall in Wolgye-ri, Buk-myeon, Uichang-gu, for areas vulnerable to landslides and at risk of casualties, and urged residents to evacuate urgently.

Deputy Mayor Jo said, “Due to continuous rain, the ground has weakened, raising concerns about damage such as retaining wall collapse, stone terrace collapse, and landslides. With more than 250mm of rain forecasted, our city will strengthen on-site monitoring activities and take immediate action at sites at risk to ensure citizens’ safety by focusing administrative efforts. We ask all citizens to evacuate immediately to a safe place if any abnormal signs occur.”
