South Korea
As Omais approached South Korea, the Korea Meteorological Administration warned of heavy rainfall and high winds across Jeju and the southern coast of mainland South Korea.[2] Numerous fishing vessels evacuated to the port in Yeosu.[3] A total of 27,413 vessels were guided to harbor in Jeollanam-do. Due to concerns of mudslides, more than 12,000 people were ordered to evacuate across Jeollanam-do. About 350 authorities were stationed in areas prone to mudslides while 405 civil servants were tasked with disaster coordination.[4][5] In Busan, numerous landslide warnings were issued. A total of 33 people were evacuated from an apartment building in a flood-prone part of the city. Airlines collectively cancelled 75 flights to Jeju, ten flights at Gimhae International Airport, three flights at Gwangju Airport, and two flights at Ulsan Airport. A total of 15 passenger ships were docked due to the storm. Across 17 national parks, 422 tours were cancelled.[5] At Jirisan National Park, mountain climbing was temporarily banned on August 23, with planned inspections of damage following the storm.[6]
