Urging the Public to Heighten Awareness for Accident Prevention

Mokpo Maritime Police Station (Chief Kwon Oh-seong) announced that it will issue a safety accident risk forecast system "Advisory" from the 22nd until the weather warning is lifted due to the increased risk of coastal safety accidents caused by bad weather.

The safety accident risk forecast system is a system that informs the public in advance of the risk of safety accidents occurring in coastal waters due to bad weather or natural disasters during specific periods. It is issued in three stages according to severity: Interest, Advisory, and Warning.

The newly issued "Advisory" stage is a forecast stage issued when safety accidents and damage expansion are expected due to bad weather or natural disasters in coastal waters.

Since the early morning of the 22nd, a preliminary storm warning has been issued for the southern offshore waters of the West Sea, and from the afternoon of the same day for the southern coastal waters of the West Sea. Accordingly, the Maritime Police will use local governments and branch office electronic signboards to provide real-time publicity and safety information.

During the issuance period, patrols on sea and land will be strengthened, focusing on coastal low-lying risk areas such as coastal waters, ports, harbors, and rocky shores, and all efforts will be made to prevent coastal safety accidents.

A Mokpo Maritime Police official said, "Amid consecutive ship accidents near the jurisdiction, we urge the public to raise awareness to prevent accidents caused by bad weather such as strong winds."
