In particular, District Mayor Kim Kyung-ho instructed to strictly conduct ▲inspection of rainwater inlets and drainage channels ▲maintain emergency communication systems ▲strengthen management of disaster-vulnerable households using Donghaeng Partners ▲actively support flood prevention supplies such as pumps and waterproof sheets ▲take emergency measures and respond promptly when risk factors arise ▲manage safety accidents caused by banners, street trees, and signposts, emphasizing thorough surveillance activities in areas expected to be affected.

Additionally, on-site inspections were conducted on vulnerable facilities such as semi-basement houses, flood prevention facilities, landslide-prone areas, and the Han River embankment to actively prepare against typhoon damage. Emergency patrols were carried out to check the operation of water-blocking panels and rainwater pumping stations installed in low-lying areas, as well as landslide-prone areas in Junggok-dong, ensuring perfect readiness for the typhoon.

District Mayor Kim Kyung-ho stated, “The safety of our residents cannot be overemphasized. We are putting full effort into typhoon preparedness through meticulous surveillance and pre-inspections,” and added, “We urge residents to fully familiarize themselves with the action guidelines for this typhoon and to exercise special caution to prevent any damage.”
