Earlier, on the 4th, Mayor Park also conducted on-site inspections at the Sacheon City Library construction site, the National Sports Center construction site for daily life, Seonjin Park, and the Seodong Drainage Pump Station in the Cheongneol district in response to the northward approach of Hinnamnor.

At the Seodong Drainage Pump Station, he checked the operational status and typhoon preparedness measures such as operation tests and manager deployment, and ordered utmost efforts to prevent flooding during heavy rain caused by the typhoon.

Mayor Park said, "Since this typhoon is expected to cause significant damage due to strong winds and heavy rain, I ask that all administrative power be focused on minimizing typhoon damage through thorough prior preparation and proactive response."

He also urged, “I hope all citizens maintain special vigilance and prepare thoroughly for this unprecedented typhoon.”

The city is making full preparations by tracking the movement path of Typhoon No. 11 ‘Hinnamnor’ 24 hours a day, establishing and operating step-by-step emergency duty plans, and maintaining an emergency duty system.
