Guro-gu, Full Effort to Maintain Hazardous Trees Ahead of Autumn Typhoon

Systematic Hazardous Tree Management Using Four Areas... Including Utilization of Borehole Tomography Equipment
Continuous Operation of Maintenance Task Force Since 2022

Guro-gu (District Mayor Moon Heon-il) announced that it is making every effort to remove hazardous trees in the area before the autumn typhoons arrive.

The district has maintained a total of 183 hazardous trees and pruned 514 trees, including dead tree removal, this year to prevent safety accidents caused by typhoons and other wind and water disasters and to create a pleasant streetscape.

Hazardous trees are systematically maintained by subdividing them into four categories: ▲parks and village yards ▲forests ▲landscaping ▲rivers.

In particular, for street trees, a risk assessment service is conducted using trunk tomography equipment to check for hazardous trees, and street trees with a risk of falling are removed in advance to prevent safety accidents.

Additionally, the district plans to maintain 23 hazardous trees based on the results of an emergency self-inspection, and will focus on additional maintenance of roadside green areas before Chuseok to contribute to the safe travel of residents returning home.

Furthermore, to maintain hazardous trees in emergencies, a mobile team composed of landscaping maintenance specialists has been organized and operated continuously since 2022.

A Guro-gu official stated, “We plan to carry out additional maintenance of hazardous trees in the area before the full-scale typhoons in September,” and added, “If you find hazardous trees in the area, please contact the Park and Greenery Division’s Landscaping Team, and we will respond promptly.”
