[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Kangwha County announced on the 27th that it will concentrate all administrative capabilities on surveying and emergency recovery from Typhoon No. 8 'Babi' damage.

As of the 27th, the main damage from the typhoon includes 3 public facilities (2 power outages, 1 other) and 7 private facilities (3 tree lodging, 1 rice crop lodging, 4 others).

The county has immediately begun emergency recovery for damaged facilities including traffic lights, street lights, traffic signs, and uprooted roadside trees at public facilities.

The county plans to establish and implement a recovery plan immediately after the damage survey is completed. If budgetary expenditures are required, the county plans to use disaster and emergency reserves to conduct recovery.

Kangwha County Chief Yoo Cheon-ho toured the damage sites and carefully examined the damage situation. He instructed that not a single damaged facility be overlooked in the typhoon damage survey.

County Chief Yoo Cheon-ho stated, "Despite the record-breaking strong winds, the damage is less than anticipated, but we must conduct a thorough survey to ensure that no damaged facilities are omitted. We will mobilize all personnel and equipment for emergency recovery so that people can return to their daily lives as soon as possible."
