How to prepare for Typhoon Lingling

태풍 '링링' 역대급 규모 우려, 강풍 대책은?

With typhoon Lingling approaching the Korean Peninsula, our Kan Hyeong-woo takes a look at what you can do to keep you, your family and your property safe.
The Korea Meteorological Administration says record-breaking winds are on their way to the southern and western islands and coastal areas.
As of noon on Friday, the maximum windspeed of Typhoon Lingling was around 160 kilometers an hour -- strong enough to flip over cars.
To prepare, if you're in the storm's path, you're advised to keep your smartphone close and/or follow the news on the TV or the radio.
Stay indoors, if possible,... but if you have to go out, keep away from contruction sites and traffic lights.
If you are driving, slow down and do not take roads next to streams or rivers.
To keep windows from breaking at your home or business, it can help to put tape on the inside of the frame and sheets of wet newspaper on the glass.
Anything that the wind might blow away should be fastened securely.
If you live in an area where there might be a landslide or a flood, you should learn the community evacuation plan and how to get to the closest safe house.
It's also important to have a first-aid kit.
The South Korean government is operating the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters twenty-four-seven.
As of Friday morning,... it had raised the typhoon warning one notch from the lowest level 'attention' to 'caution.'
