‘Typhoon Dissipation’ Nationwide Landslide Warning Level Downgraded from ‘Severe’ to ‘Caution’

With the dissipation of Typhoon 'Khanun,' the nationwide landslide warning level has also been lowered.

The Korea Forest Service announced on the 11th at 1 p.m. that the nationwide landslide warning would be downgraded from "Severe" to "Caution."

The warning levels are divided into four stages: "Interest - Caution - Alert - Severe."

However, regardless of the downgrade in the warning level, the Korea Forest Service plans to maintain a 24-hour situation monitoring and emergency response system centered on the Central Landslide Accident Response Headquarters for the time being to assess typhoon damage and carry out emergency measures.

Nam Sung-hyun, head of the Korea Forest Service, stated, "We will quickly assess the typhoon damage situation and focus on emergency restoration and early stabilization to prevent secondary damage."
