It is expected that the fifth typhoon "Danas" will go north after the rainy season and directly affect the Korean peninsula this weekend.

The southern part of the southern region, which started on the 26th of last month, has a weak ground due to local heavy rains, and the typhoons are overlapping. Be aware of the precautions and thoroughly prepare them to prevent or prevent damage.

According to the "National Action Tips" issued by the Ministry of Public Administration and Security (MOFE) on March 19, when a typhoon is predicted, it is necessary to understand the anticipated course and reaching time by TV, radio, Internet,

Roofs, signs, windows, bicycles, etc. are tied together so that they do not fly in the wind. Especially, the windows are fixed firmly to the window frame with tape.

Vehicles parked in rivers, beaches and lowlands are moved to a safe place.

Emergency medicines, flashlights, drinking water, emergency food, etc. are prepared in advance, and sewer, drainage around the house, underground parking lot of apartment, and agricultural drainage are checked in advance.

In mountainous areas, valleys, rivers, breakwater, and beaches, you should stop camping and watering, and evacuate to a safe place with people around you.

It is also safe to move around in low-lying areas, inundated areas, landslide hazardous areas, underground areas, and old houses and buildings that may collapse.
When a typhoon warning is issued, we will avoid going out for the sake of safety and continue to grasp weather information and local situation and share it with family, neighbors, and acquaintances.

Children move to a safe place and avoid going out, keeping them from falling with their parents or teachers.

Do not let the disabled and the elderly get out of the house.

Gas is prevented from leaking to prevent secondary damage.

Electricity inside and outside the house is not touchable because of the risk of electric shock.

Keep doors and windows closed to prevent breakage and keep them as close as possible to windows or glass doors.

To avoid wind storms, it is best to be in a room without a window, such as a bathroom, or in the innermost space of the house.

Vehicles should be run at reduced speeds and should be avoided as they may be swept away by torrents in flooded areas such as riverside or coastal areas.

Underground roads, roads, bridges, etc., which have been submerged even a little, never pass.

If you hear the thunder in 30 seconds after seeing the lightning, you should immediately lower your body and evacuate to a safe place such as a waterless pit or cave.

Do not approach dangerous areas such as construction sites, telephone poles, and underground areas.

Do not go near slopes where landslides can occur.

Mountain climbers escape from valleys and slopes and escape to a safe place.

Especially, when suddenly a large amount of water suddenly emerges from the slope, and sudden stoppage of spring water or groundwater which normally comes out well, it is considered that the risk of landslide increases.

It is also a sign that landslides are occurring when some parts of the hillside suddenly sink down.

When the tree is shaken even though there is no wind, when there is a sounding of the mountain or the sound of the earth, the landslide has already begun.
