This time, we will have a disaster prevention expert to learn more about actions to reduce damage.
Young-Joo Lee, Professor of Fire Prevention and Prevention, University of Seoul.
Hello Professor?
Hin Nam-no is passing through Ulsan, Busan. What is the most important thing to reduce damage in the current situation?
<Professor Young-Joo Lee> First of all,
it is raining a lot right now in Ulsan, Busan and now in the Pohang area.
So, rather than wind damage, it seems that flood damage caused by concentrated rainfall will occur considerably more now.
So, first of all, local residents, I think it would be better for these people to refrain from outdoor activities as much as possible and wait a little indoors in a safe situation until the rain stops until the morning of today (6th) and until the typhoon passes.
If you ever go outside, there are areas where flooding or flooding of rivers is already predicted.
So these parts.
Those that do not come close to the river side.
And when you walk, it can be dangerous because it is difficult to accurately check these conditions with the naked eye, whether it is a manhole or a ground level in the flooded area.
Therefore, I would like to ask you to refrain from outside activities as much as possible while securing the safety of these areas as much as possible while walking.

Typhoon Now that it has landed on land, I think that understanding may continue to increase as the typhoon moves. What is the most important part to prepare for damage?
<Professor Young-Joo Lee>
If you look at the damage situation in Jeju Island, where the typhoon has already passed, there have been many floods, but one of the most common damages is power outages.
For example, there have been many situations in which power lines are cut off by wind, or electricity in buildings is cut off due to these situations and flooding.
So, maybe inland areas, such as downtown, or residential areas, for example, there will be a lot of flooding and blackouts.
So, even if these parts of damage occur right now, it is difficult to recover immediately, so I think it is necessary to make these preparations from now on so that they can be quickly restored after the typhoon has passed.

In particular, the time when the typhoon made landfall on the southern coast and the time of high tide overlapped, so there were concerns about tsunami inundation.
<Professor Young-Joo Lee>
Now, the tsunami-related parts have been forecast since last night.
Now, in the case of high tide, basically, when the water level reaches the highest point, and at that point, when the typhoon approaches and moves inland, it seems that these parts where the water level rises again by a strong typhoon will cause problems now.

This is news that came in a while ago.
There is news that the Hyeongsan River in Pohang and Gyeongju has been upgraded to a flood warning.
It seems to be raining more and more now, and local conditions are changing.
Please keep talking.
<Professor Young-Joo Lee>
So, if strong winds accompany such a high water level, now there is a possibility that the coastal area will be flooded to a much deeper area than the previously inundated area.
So, it seems that these parts need sufficient preparation.

I am very interested in the wind speed of the typhoon.
Now, we saw a lot of our relay reporters shaking their bodies at the scene, but this time it was predicted that the speed would exceed 40m per second, and I'm curious to see how powerful this is.
<Professor Young-Joo Lee>
Many reporters go out to the field and see that they are swaying a lot in the wind or they are very restricted in their actions.
In fact, if it's that much wind, it's much more like the 20m/s we're talking about.
If it is about 40m/s, which is the current maximum wind speed, it is strong enough that a person can fly directly or large stones can fly.
You can understand it this way.
