Gwanak-gu (Mayor Park Junhee) held an emergency countermeasure meeting on the 8th to fully prepare for Typhoon No. 6, ‘Khanun’.

This measure aims to minimize damage to residents in anticipation of heavy rain accompanied by strong winds expected in the metropolitan area on the night of the 10th and early morning of the 11th due to the typhoon.

At the emergency meeting, all department heads and dong chiefs attended to thoroughly review the measures and detailed response plans by each major department.

The district will inspect facilities expected to be damaged by strong winds, such as construction sites, large outdoor advertisements, and street trees, and take urgent actions such as securing movable facilities.

Caretaker officials and Donghaeng Partners will maintain an emergency contact system to assist evacuation in case of emergencies in flood-prone areas such as semi-basement households. Access to Byeolbitnaerin Stream will be preemptively restricted, and drainage facilities in low-lying areas will be inspected to strengthen flood prevention.

The district operates the ‘Gwanak-gu Disaster Safety Situation Room,’ a 24/7 emergency response system throughout the year to prevent flood damage. In case of an emergency, it is prepared to promptly mobilize personnel and equipment to quickly respond to damage recovery and management.

Mayor Park Junhee of Gwanak-gu said, “In particular, each dong community center is requested to strengthen monitoring activities of landslide-prone areas, building facilities, banners, signboards, and rainwater drains,” and added, “We also urge all residents to pay close attention to the typhoon’s path and to be sure to familiarize themselves with the national action guidelines to avoid damage.”
