This emergency countermeasure meeting was organized to enable proactive situation management by each cooperating department and the eup, myeon, and dong administrative units, as well as to conduct surveillance activities in disaster-prone areas, in anticipation of Typhoon 'Khanun' strengthening as it moves northward and is expected to pass through the Korean Peninsula.

Additionally, on-site inspections were carried out on major local business sites, disaster prevention facilities, underground passages, and other disaster-vulnerable areas to minimize typhoon damage.

Vice Mayor Kim Hyung-woo said, "With the recent long rainy season bringing heavy rain, the risk of disasters is high as the typhoon approaches. We will do our best to protect residents' lives and property by conducting on-site inspections of disaster-prone areas and disaster prevention facilities to preemptively block risk factors."
