Jin Byeong-yeong, Hamyang County Governor, Conducts On-site Safety Inspection in Preparation for Typhoon 'Khanun'

Thorough Safety Management at Water Recreation Areas and Large Construction Sites

Jin Byeong-yeong, the mayor of Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam, inspected water play areas and large construction sites within Hamyang-gun on the 9th in preparation for Typhoon Khanun, the 6th typhoon currently moving northward.

The county expects to fall under the typhoon's influence between the 9th and 10th, with very strong winds and heavy rainfall anticipated, requiring special precautions.

County Governor Jin Byeong-yeong is inspecting construction sites and facilities in preparation for Typhoon No. 6.

Accordingly, Mayor Jin visited major water play areas in the county, including Bujeon Valley in Seosang-myeon and Yongchu Valley and Simwonjeong in Anui-myeon, to check on the evacuation status of vacationers.

He also directly visited large construction sites to conduct focused inspections to prevent major accidents caused by materials and stored goods (collapse, scattering), tower cranes, and pile drivers (overturning of large equipment), and discussed ways to minimize damage with related personnel.

Mayor Jin urged, “As this typhoon is expected to pass through the Korean Peninsula and affect our county, we will make every administrative effort to thoroughly conduct pre-safety inspections and prevent any safety accidents.”

Meanwhile, in response to the northward approach of Typhoon Khanun, Hamyang-gun will strictly restrict access in advance to water play areas including rivers and valleys, as well as major freshwater snail harvesting areas, to ensure that no safety accidents occur. After the typhoon passes, if risk increases due to factors such as buoy displacement in dangerous zones and increased rainfall, access will be restricted until the hazards are resolved.
