Since the 1st, a total of 35 people have died and 13 have disappeared due to torrential rain.

We analyzed these 48 casualties by type.

Of the 48, half of them died or disappeared due to landslides, of which 24 died. 19 of them died.

After landslides, the number of victims was the total of 23 cases, such as the Uiam Dam accident.

You should also be familiar with these terrifying landslides, rapids, and countermeasures.


First, evacuate quickly if there are signs of a landslide.

A sudden rise of water from a slope, rocks rolling down a hillside, or a tree tilting more than usual can be seen as signs of a landslide.

In addition, when a landslide begins, it is better to avoid it in the side or high place in the direction where the soil is descending.

To avoid getting caught in the rapids, avoid flooded areas, especially in rural areas, when it rains heavily, you should refrain from inspecting the banks or shores.

In addition, if the vehicle is flooded, you must exit the vehicle quickly and leave the flooded area before more than two-thirds of the wheels are filled.

If evacuation is difficult, you must open the window beforehand or hit the corner of the window with a pointed object.

It is best to wait, open the door, and move quickly to a higher place.]

Above all, it is important to check the weather information of your area in advance and in real time, and get out of the danger area in a hurry.
