“Standing to the greatest crisis response posture… Prepare strong countermeasures”
As Typhoon Hinnamno, the 11th typhoon, moves north in the direction of the Korean Peninsula, North Korea is also in a state of extreme tension and is making every effort to prevent damage.
On the 4th, the Rodong Sinmun, the official newspaper of the Workers’ Party of Korea, said, “As Typhoon No. 11 is approaching every minute, emergency disaster and crisis response command teams at all levels continue to maintain a state of extreme tension, while intensifying operations and command to prevent damage from heavy rain, heavy rain and strong winds. ” reported.
The newspaper reported, “Emergency disaster and crisis response command teams at all levels are following strong measures to prevent typhoon damage while maintaining the maximum crisis response posture.”
The Korean Central News Agency also reported that “in all sectors and units, projects to thoroughly protect the life and property of the country and people from natural disasters are being organized and developed with great mobility.”
Specifically, it is taking measures such as maintenance of agricultural drainage facilities, inspection and repair of hydraulic structures in hydroelectric and thermal power plants, prevention of typhoon damage in coal and metal and chemical sectors, and inspection of drainage systems in rivers and reservoirs. communication said.
In this regard, the Ministry of Communications explained that the Cabinet and the National Planning Committee are closely organizing and directing the necessary facilities and materials to ensure the necessary facilities and materials in the relevant departments and units in a timely manner.
The reason that North Korea is putting so much effort into responding to a crisis is that it has suffered severe damage from typhoons and heavy rains in the past.
North Korea suffered great damage by ravaging the country from typhoons ‘Bobby’ and ‘Maisak’ in 2020 to the ‘High Line’.
Last year, the agricultural harvest was sluggish due to the rainy season in early summer.
Meanwhile, as of 3 am on the same day, Hin Nam-no is slowly moving north at a speed of 11 km/h in the sea around 310 km east of Taipei, Taiwan.
As Hinnamno is expected to move north through the western sea of Okinawa, Japan that night, there is a possibility that the entire Korean Peninsula will fall within the sphere of influence of the typhoon on the 5th and 6th.
