As heavy rain advisories issued mainly in Chungnam, Incheon, and the west coast of Gyeonggi Province expanded to Seoul and other places, the first phase of the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasure Headquarters (Critical Response Headquarters) was activated to deal with heavy rain. The Ministry of Public Administration and Security announced on the 4th that it would operate the first stage of the critical script at 4:00 pm and raise the crisis alert level from ‘interest’ to ‘caution’. As of 5:00 p.m., a heavy rain advisory went into effect for some areas in Seoul, Incheon, Sejong, Gyeonggi, Gangwon, Chungbuk, and Chungnam, as well as five islands in the West Sea. The cumulative amount of precipitation from midnight to 5 p.m. on this day was 70.0mm in Taean, Chungcheongnam-do, 60.0mm in Incheon, 56.5mm in Buan, Jeonbuk, and 48.5mm in Gurye, Jeollanam-do. It was counted as 30.0 mm. According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, from this night to the next morning, very strong and heavy rain of 30 to 60 mm per hour is expected to fall in the central region, excluding the east coast of Gangwon, the inland of North Gyeongsang Province, the Jeolla region, the south coast of Gyeongsangnam-do, and Jeju Island. As rain clouds continued, eight parking lots across the country and 10 riverside areas in Seoul were controlled. Entry to one amusement park and one valley in Jeonnam is also restricted. Han Chang-seop, head of the company headquarters (vice minister of the Ministry of Public Administration and Security) said, “Since the ground is weakened by the continuous monsoon rain, and there are concerns about landslides, collapses, and flooding due to overlapping with the contrast between today (4th) and tomorrow (5th), related organizations are taking more thorough preparations and responses. “The public is also asked to refrain from approaching the beach while closely monitoring the weather conditions, and refrain from outdoor activities and going out, such as drainage maintenance, roof repair, and farming-related work,” he said.
