Do not go near flowing water

Areas around streams and rivers are especially dangerous. Every year during the rainy season, this is also where casualties occur. Before a heavy rain warning is issued, you should camp in a safe area, and if an evacuation announcement is made, evacuate immediately.

If water enters the home, cut off the electricity immediately

You should also be careful when inside a house or building. During heavy rain, homes and buildings are at risk of flooding, so if flooding is suspected, cut off the electricity first. If the water rises to below calf level, open the door quickly and escape. If the water rises so high that it is difficult to get out, call 119 immediately and wait for rescue.

In a basement or semi-basement, evacuate immediately if the stairs flood

If you are underground or in a semi-basement, you need to be even more careful. If you are in a low-lying area and the stairs are flooding, call 119 quickly and then evacuate. It is best to escape on your own when the water depth is below knee level, and if you are wearing slippers or high heels, take them off and escape barefoot if possible.

Check real-time traffic conditions

Heavy rain often causes roads to become blocked. It is a good idea to use platforms that let you check public transportation and road conditions in real time and respond accordingly. The Urban Traffic Information Center provided by the National Police Agency and the Seoul Traffic Information System are useful tools.

It is a good idea to familiarize yourself in advance with how to respond to natural disasters such as heavy rain.

I hope everyone gets through the summer safely without any rain damage.
