Jeju Maritime Police stated on the 14th that due to the possibility of a storm warning being issued from the 16th, they will issue a coastal safety accident risk forecast at the "caution" level from the 15th to the 17th to prepare for safety accidents.

The "caution" level of the coastal safety accident risk forecast system is issued when there is a high risk of safety accidents occurring in coastal waters or when accidents are already happening and there is concern about the spread of damage.

Jeju Maritime Police plans to do their best to prevent maritime accidents by identifying vulnerable factors in advance, strengthening patrols along the coast including breakwaters and tetrapods, inspecting the mooring status of ships docked at ports and harbors, and sending risk advisory messages to shipowners and captains.

A Jeju Maritime Police official said, "We will strengthen patrols along the coast, rocky shores, and breakwaters to prepare for safety accidents," and added, "Due to the risk of sudden gusts and swell waves at breakwaters and rocky shores, please refrain from entering coastal areas during bad weather."
