The southern coastal area, where typhoons are approaching, has suffered human casualties and property damage due to typhoons in the past.

In particular, the Geoje region of Gyeongsangnam-do, where a large shipyard is located, had an emergency ahead of the typhoon.

The water barrier that was laid on the floor like a deck for a walk starts to stand up gradually.



This is a water barrier installed along the coast of Masanhappo-gu, Changwon.



A 200m long and 2m high wall was built in no time.



In the past, tempered glass was installed to prevent damage from flooding along the coast, but this time, we are preparing for Typhoon Hinnamno by installing a standing water barrier like this.



[Ban Jae-nam / Masan Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Administration Port Construction Division: In 2003, typhoon 'Maemi' oversaw and overflowed, and there was damage to the properties behind it.

(To prevent it.)]



Despite the operation of the barrier, the nearby residents are uneasy.



Residents are busy carrying sandbags through the rain.



The sandbags prepared for 20,000 will disappear as soon as they are made.



[Nearby residents: It was completely smashed when cicadas were.

(Oh, that's why you want to take a lot of them now) Yes.]



[Kwon Kyung-sun/Nearby residents: For now, we are planning to block the main entrance, the entrance entrance, and the boiler room entrance.]



Merchants in the nearby fish market close their business early. After I finished, I started repairing the shop.



We are doing everything we can to tie up facilities in case of strong winds and, above all, to prevent flood damage.



[Jo Young-jin / Fish Market Merchant: This is a habitually flooded area, so in order to reduce the damage as much as possible now…

.]



The nightmare that 18 people died in Masan alone due to a coastal tsunami during Typhoon Maemi in 2003 still remains for these residents.



Geoje's two major shipyards are also in emergency.



I used all the ropes as much as possible to wind up what I normally bundle with 2 or 3 wire ropes.



In particular, when the high tide time and the typhoon landing time overlap, a huge amount of damage is expected, so the residents of Gyeongnam coastline, who are on the way of the typhoon, are worried.
