Torrential rain that slammed South Korea for five days have left 14 people dead and 12 others missing.
More than 3,800 people have been evacuated from their homes.
According to government officials, heavy rain alerts have mostly been lifted throughout the country.
One person died on Sunday after a house collapsed during heavy rain and another person was found dead after being swept away by a swollen stream in Gapyeong, northeast of Seoul.
Officials say eight people were discovered dead and six others were reported missing in the southern town of Sancheong on Saturday.
Last week, three people were found dead in a submerged car, and a person was killed when their vehicle was buried by soil and concrete in Osan, south of Seoul.
Southern regions of the country have received up to 800 millimetres of rain since Wednesday.
