Geumcheon-gu Fully Prepared for Emergency Disaster Relief Fund Distribution

From the 4th, Formation and Operation of the 'Emergency Disaster Relief Fund Task Force'... Overall Management Including Call Center Operation, Support for Local Community Center Staff, and Progress Monitoring

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] As the government’s emergency disaster relief fund eligibility check and partial cash support have begun, Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yu Seong-hoon) has made thorough preparations to provide the emergency disaster relief fund to residents quickly and systematically.

First, on the 4th, the district office established the ‘Emergency Disaster Relief Fund Task Force’ on the basement level 1 of the district office to oversee and support the emergency disaster relief fund operations at the 10 community service centers.

The ‘Emergency Disaster Relief Fund Task Force,’ led by the deputy mayor, is composed of three teams: ‘General Operations Team,’ ‘Investigation Team,’ and ‘Monitoring Team.’ Until June 25, it will dispatch support personnel to each community service center, check the progress, and serve as the control tower for the ‘Emergency Disaster Relief Fund’ implementation.

Since the 4th, the ‘Emergency Disaster Relief Fund Task Force’ has been operating a dedicated call center to resolve residents’ questions about the support and to prevent confusion during application submissions.

The call center conducts consultations by linking the task force with the Geumcheon Tongtong Welfare Call Center and counseling channels at various welfare facilities.

Additionally, starting from the 18th, when in-person applications at community service centers begin, a total of 70 district office employees and temporary workers will be assigned to the centers to ensure residents can apply systematically without confusion.

Furthermore, step-by-step monitoring will be conducted during the application period to promptly address any resident inconveniences or difficulties faced by staff, ensuring no disruptions in the emergency disaster relief fund support.

Residents who wish to receive the government disaster relief fund via check or credit card can apply online through the card companies’ websites using a 5-day rotation system starting from the 11th, or apply in person at banks linked to the cards starting from the 18th.

Residents who want to receive the fund via prepaid cards or Seoul Sarang Gift Certificates (mobile) can apply in person at their local community service centers starting from the 18th. For about 2,000 households, including elderly or disabled households with mobility difficulties, a visiting application service will also be provided.

Yu Seong-hoon, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, stated, “The district office is fully prepared to ensure that the government disaster relief fund is provided to residents quickly and accurately. We ask residents to check any questions in advance through the call center and to apply on the designated day according to the 5-day rotation system so that applications can be processed systematically.”
