As Typhoon Soulik is expected to pose threats to residents and property in Korea, the country's safety ministry has provided details of how to get prepared ahead of and during the projected mega storm.
Yoon Jung-min reports.
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.
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.
