Typhoon No. 6 'Khanun', currently moving northward, is expected to bring heavy rain and strong winds mainly to the Gangwon region and southern areas, and will directly affect other regions nationwide as well.

The Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters requested administrative and public institutions to actively implement adjustments to commuting hours for employees, excluding those involved in disaster response-related duties, considering the typhoon’s landfall time and movement path, and urged each institution to actively encourage related private companies and organizations to adjust commuting hours appropriately according to the situation.

Furthermore, it instructed that emergency workers maintain their positions to fully respond to the typhoon, disaster management responsibility agencies’ disaster response personnel keep emergency contact systems, and thoroughly prepare in advance to be able to work promptly in case of emergencies.
