▲ Water is being released from the Gunnam Flood Control Dam on the Imjin River in Yeoncheon-gun, Gyeonggi-do, on the morning of the 15th, as the water level at Pilseung Bridge on the Imjin River exceeded 1 meter, the threshold for evacuating riverside visitors.
Yun Ho-jung, Head of the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters (Minister of the Interior and Safety), ordered relevant agencies to thoroughly manage the situation today (July 21) as water levels at Pilseung Bridge, the northernmost point of the Imjin River, rose due to the discharge from North Korea's Hwanggang Dam and heavy rainfall in the Yeoncheon-gun region of Gyeonggi-do.
Head of the Headquarters Yun urged, "Please ensure thorough situation management and resident safety by keeping all possible scenarios in mind," adding, "Relevant agencies should share situational information and activate a close cooperative system."
According to the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, a flood advisory was issued for the area around Imjin Bridge on the Imjin River as of 11:40 a.m. today, and the water level at Pilseung Bridge exceeded 8.95 meters as of 12:37 p.m.
