Heavy rain warnings issued across the country were all lifted as of this morning, July 19.

However, the government has decided to maintain the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters at a Level 2 response status to manage the aftermath of the rain damage and take preventive measures against further landslides and other risks.

Overnight, 793 reports of damage were filed nationwide, including homes and roads flooded and soil erosion caused by the rain.

Due to concerns over landslides and overflowing rivers caused by the torrential rain, a total of 294 people have temporarily evacuated to emergency housing facilities.

Currently, most flights and trains are operating normally, but some flights at Gimhae and Jeju airports, as well as some ferry services, remain restricted.
