According to the Yonhap news agency, the articles were carried from Wednesday to Friday to advise people about what to and not to do in times of typhoons, lightning and flooding, as a series of heavy downpours have battered the Korean Peninsula in recent weeks.
Noticeable among them was the advice to stay away from dirty food.
That illustrates the food shortages the destitute North has been suffering for decades even as the regime has pushed strongly for the development of nuclear weapons and long-range missiles.
Other advice includes staying away from a street if water is ankle-deep because people can fall in just 15 centimetre-deep water and going up onto the roof when water fills up buildings. - BERNAMA
