Partial Amendment to the Enforcement Decree of the Disaster Relief Act Effective from the 4th
Ministry of the Interior and Safety: "Enables Rapid and Efficient Relief Services"

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] Hotels, resorts, and religious facilities privately owned can now be used as temporary housing facilities for disaster victims.


The Ministry of the Interior and Safety announced on the 3rd that the partial amendment to the 'Enforcement Decree of the Disaster Relief Act,' which includes this content, will take effect from the 4th.


Temporary housing facilities are places where disaster victims who have lost their homes or are unable to live in their residences due to disasters can temporarily stay. Previously, only facilities established and operated by national and public schools, village halls, senior centers, and local governments were allowed, but from now on, privately owned facilities can also be designated as temporary housing facilities through prior consultation with the owners.



Chae Hong-ho, Director of Disaster Management at the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, said, "Since private facilities can now be provided as temporary housing facilities, we will be able to offer faster and more efficient relief services to disaster victims."
