Pruning is focused on trees with large branches, wide canopies, showing signs of unsafety or affecting traffic, works and urban infrastructure systems. Green tree management units proactively review and handle high-risk locations.
This activity is being implemented in the context of a tropical depression appearing in the East Sea. Early in the morning of August 18, the low pressure area in the eastern sea area of the North East Sea strengthened into a tropical depression.
At 4 am on August 18, the center of the tropical depression was at about 19.8 degrees North latitude, 117.8 degrees East longitude. The strongest wind near the center was strong at level 6, gusting at level 8. The tropical depression is moving slowly in a westerly direction, speed about 5km/h.
According to forecasts from the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, in the next 24 to 48 hours, the tropical depression will continue to move westward, then have a West-Northwesterly trend. The North East Sea area has strong winds, high waves and rough seas.
During the day and night of August 18, some sea areas will have strong southwest winds of level 6, gusts of level 7-8. Sea waves are 2-4m high. Thunderstorms are likely to be accompanied by tornadoes and strong gusts of wind.
Faced with weather developments, proactively checking and pruning green trees contributes to reducing the risk of trees breaking and falling, ensuring safety for people and vehicles when heavy rain and strong winds occur.
