Busan Gijang-gun Mobilizes Full Effort for Typhoon Preparedness... "Resident Safety is Top Priority"

Busan Gijang-gun is concentrating its administrative efforts and mobilizing a full-scale response to minimize damage as Typhoon Khanun, the 6th typhoon, approaches.

Jeong Jong-bok, the head of Gijang-gun, chaired situation assessment meetings from the typhoon information stage on the 7th, sharing the typhoon’s path and impact range and initiating preemptive preparations. On the morning of the 9th, he also led a countermeasure meeting attended by all department heads to check each department’s typhoon response status.

In particular, very heavy rain and strong winds are forecast from the night of the 9th through the morning of the 10th, prompting focused discussions on establishing a proactive disaster response system to minimize typhoon damage and on execution plans for immediate emergency measures in case of emergencies.

A department-wise countermeasure meeting for typhoon preparedness is underway in Gijang-gun.

The county has activated the Disaster Safety Countermeasures Headquarters for typhoon preparedness and is maintaining a 24-hour emergency response system. Each department has been assigned jurisdictional areas to conduct intensive inspections of their respective facilities and regions, and step-by-step emergency duty for staff is being implemented according to weather conditions.

Preemptive control of disaster-prone areas such as rivers, underpasses, and flood-risk roads is underway, along with ongoing resident guidance activities.

Jeong Jong-bok, head of Gijang-gun, urged, “Put the safety of residents first and carry out typhoon preparedness surveillance activities and proactive pre-control of areas at risk of damage,” adding, “Do not approach dangerous areas under any circumstances and please participate in safety management to minimize typhoon damage.”
