The areas, including Gimhae and Changwon in South Gyeongsang and Jangheung-gun in South Jeolla, were given the designations following the heavy downpours in late September.
The designation makes the areas eligible for the government's financial support for recovery work, relief funds for victims and other benefits.
Yoon ordered swift emergency recovery efforts in the affected areas and urged maintaining full readiness in other regions due to the possibility of downpours in October, according to presidential spokesperson Jeong Hye-jeon.
