The first phase of the Central Command is in operation for the heavy snow special...Crisis alert 'Caution'

As the heavy snow warning was issued mainly in the Seoul metropolitan area and Gangwon area, the government operated the first stage of the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters and raised the level of heavy snow crisis warnings from "attention" to "caution."

Ko Ki-dong, the acting Minister of Public Administration and Security, asked related agencies to mobilize all snow removal personnel and equipment to minimize heavy snow damage.

In addition, he asked to strengthen the inspection of vulnerable facilities such as greenhouses and barns and multi-use facilities such as concert halls, and to cooperate with related agencies such as fire and police to quickly evacuate if there is a fear of collapse.
