Taean-gun announced on the 6th that it will designate and operate October to November as a 'night mudflat experience safety management special measure period' in preparation for the fall camping peak season and the increase in the number of people experiencing night mudflat experiences.

Taean-gun plans to strengthen patrols and safety management in cooperation with the Taean Coast Guard and Taean Fire Department, focusing on 5 access control areas and 44 risk areas, including Gomseom Island, Tonggae Port, and the tidal flat under the wind, and plans to send safety information letters mainly on weekends and public holidays during the coastal accident advisory period.

Promotional materials for the mudflat experience at night will be distributed to campsites and guesthouses, and promotions for mudflat experience visitors will be strengthened by requesting cooperation from coastal area campsites to send safety rules information letters to users when making reservations.

Eleven smart unmanned voice guidance devices will be installed in major accident areas, and related facilities such as cameras and safety signs will be gradually reinforced so that dangerous situations can be checked even at night.

We plan to prepare a plan to strengthen warning facilities to prevent falls around the breakwater, and review various safety management measures with related organizations, such as improving safety guardrails, conducting guidance activities linked to public jobs, and operating an unmanned drone station.

The military recently held a meeting on measures to prevent safety accidents during night mud flat experiences with related organizations and discussed such measures.

A military official said, "Due to the complex coastline of 544.9km in total and the topographical characteristics of seawater rising quickly during high tide, fatal accidents and falls around breakwaters occur one after another during the mudflat experience. We will do our best to protect the lives of residents and tourists by preparing safety measures in cooperation with related organizations and reinforcing safety facilities."

A total of 49 safety accidents related to the mudflat experience occurred in Taean from 2023 to this year, and it is necessary to follow safety rules and be careful about risk factors before experiencing the mudflat.
