한반도를 강타하는 태풍 '솔릭'은 무엇... 태풍에 대처하는 방법

Let's shift our focus to what we should do when we are near the areas hit hard by the storm.
South Korea's safety ministry gave out some instructions on how to be prepared for the impact of that force of nature.
Yoon Jung-min outlines what they are.
Forecasters say the storm will be as strong as Typhoon Kompasu, which caused 5 deaths in 2010.
Soulik is expected to put many lives and property in peril as it passes over the country, so
the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and the Korea Meteorological Administration are each running a disaster safety website and a national typhoon center.
They're providing guidelines on how to prepare.

The safety ministry is also advising people to put tape in an X-shape across their windows to prevent them from shattering in the strong wind.

In case of torrential rain, the websites advise families to decide ahead of time on a place to meet if they lose each other.
Also, it recommends that residents stock up on things like medication, drinking water and emergency food supplies.
Motorists should fill up with gas, and people should make sure outdoor drainage is clear of debris so that it doesn't flood.

When the storm makes landfall, residents are advised to lock the doors and windows for safety. They should refrain from using electric appliances and shut off the power.
Drivers should slow down and avoid driving across flooded roads.
The ministry warns everyone to avoid places outdoors where there could be flash flooding, landslides... or beaches where the waves could surge far onto the shore.
