The Mokpo Coast Guard has begun strengthening coastal safety management in preparation for worsening weather conditions such as strong winds.

According to the Mokpo Coast Guard on November 25, a coastal safety accident risk advisory, "Caution," will be issued for two days from November 25 to November 26 in eight cities and counties within its jurisdiction.

This "Caution" advisory has been issued for all coastal areas, including Mokpo, Shinan, Muan, Yeonggwang, Hampyeong, Haenam, Jindo, and Yeongam.

The coastal safety accident risk advisory system operates on three levels: "Attention," "Caution," and "Warning." It is a system designed to alert the public to potential risks and prevent accidents in advance when the likelihood of accidents increases due to deteriorating weather or natural disasters.

In particular, the "Caution" level is issued when the possibility of safety accidents rises or when there is concern that damage may spread.

During this period, the Coast Guard plans to significantly strengthen sea and land patrols, focusing on low-lying high-risk areas such as coastal waters, ports, harbors, and rocky shores. In addition, the Coast Guard will work with local governments to provide information through electronic displays, broadcast promotions, and safety guidance activities.

A Mokpo Coast Guard official stated, "Please check weather information frequently, and refrain from unnecessary maritime activities if worsening conditions are expected," adding, "We ask for heightened awareness to prevent accidents."
