On the 10th, Yeongyang-gun, Gyeongbuk conducted on-site inspections of flood-prone areas such as landslide risk zones and low-lying river areas in response to the northward approach of Typhoon "Khanun."
On that day, O Do-chang, the governor of Yeongyang-gun, visited sites in Seokbo-myeon, Yeongyang-gun, where roads were washed away due to heavy rains from Typhoon "Khanun," removing obstacles caused by flooding and focusing on road restoration and emergency response.
He also visited vulnerable areas to heavy rain within the jurisdiction to check on the damage situation of nearby residents, inspected the pre-control status of riverside footbridges and flood-prone areas, and directly visited key facilities to monitor the typhoon response situation. He ordered thorough real-time monitoring of the site conditions until the typhoon completely passes to ensure strict response to any damage.
Yeongyang-gun has already established a Disaster Safety Countermeasures Headquarters and set up a preemptive response system with related organizations such as fire and police departments. On the 9th at 8 p.m., an evacuation order was issued for areas at risk of human casualties (flooding and landslides) within the jurisdiction, evacuating 315 residents from 253 households across 40 locations.
Governor O Do-chang said, "Since the typhoon, accompanied by strong winds and heavy rain, is directly passing through the Korean Peninsula, we ask residents to refrain from going out as much as possible and to frequently check weather conditions." He added, "Our county will also closely monitor weather conditions in real time and strive for active response and prompt measures to minimize damage until the typhoon has completely passed."
