Changwon, Gyeongsangnam-do, which suffered a lot of casualties when Typhoon Maemi hit Korea in the past, prevented this typhoon with thorough preparation.



Reporter Park Myung-sun of KNN covered the places where damage was reduced by taking lessons from the past.



<Reporter> This



is the coast of Masan, Gyeongnam, where 18 people died during Typhoon Maemi, causing enormous damage.



However, this typhoon Hinnamno did not cause any casualties in Gyeongnam.



This is because we installed a barrier wall 200m long and 2m high to prepare for Typhoon Hinnamno in advance.



[Park Chang-sun / Changwon City Safety Construction Manager: Didn't there not only be a standing water barrier, but also a defense element called a control hill?

That in itself is a one-way block.]



Also, coastal residents installed sandbags and prepared for typhoons overnight, which also worked.



[Kim Jun-won/Nearby residents: Because of the tsunami that came in during Typhoon Maemi, I couldn't sleep until dawn yesterday. In this typhoon, the wind blew a lot, but the waves were very weak.]



This time, it's an apartment in Busan, adjacent to Dongcheon, a disaster-prone area. .



It is a place where water fills up every typhoon and torrential rain, causing great flood damage.



However, in this typhoon, water shrouds were installed from the entrance of the apartment, and sandbags were built up inside the apartment to prevent flooding.



[Kang Eunseo / Evacuation Resident: Water comes up to the waist when it is in the house.

In order to prepare for that, we made every effort to hit the water plate at the entrance of the apartment and build up sandbags.] The



city of Busan preemptively evacuated 200 residents from the low-lying areas feared for flooding, and the severely disabled called 119 ambulance to evacuate two days in advance. I did.



[Jin-Hong Kim / Head of Dong-gu, Busan: We have minimized the damage by preemptively evacuating the local residents by expanding the area of ​​concern for human casualties to 10 places including the masonry village in Beomil 5-dong.



] Unlike the previous typhoon Maemi, we were able to prevent human casualties.
