Pohang City to Begin On-Site Applications for Emergency Disaster Relief Fund at Eup, Myeon, and Dong Offices Starting the 18th

Pohang City "Expecting Many On-Site Registrations"... Responsible Officials Busy with Practical Training

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongwook Park] Pohang City is busy preparing to minimize administrative waste ahead of the offline registration for the government-level emergency disaster relief fund, which will be conducted in the city’s eup, myeon, and dong areas starting from the 18th.

On the 15th, Pohang City held the 2nd emergency disaster relief fund practical officer training at Daejam Hall in Munhwa-dong, attended by about 150 people including eup, myeon, and dong general affairs team leaders (promotion team leaders), administrative staff, and 49 personnel dispatched from the city hall.

The meeting proceeded with training on the disaster relief fund system, an overview explanation of the emergency disaster relief fund, guidance on major cases of appeals, and a Q&A session.

Expecting a large crowd at the eup, myeon, and dong registration counters, Pohang City also prepared COVID-19 prevention measures such as periodic disinfection, provision of hand sanitizers and contactless thermometers, and practicing social distancing in daily life.

Kim Bokjo, Head of the Autonomous Administration Division of Pohang City, stated, “Our region is expected to have many on-site registrations. All public officials will familiarize themselves with the guidelines to minimize civil complaints and administrative waste, ensuring that the disaster relief fund registration is processed quickly.”

Meanwhile, at the on-site registration locations for the emergency disaster relief fund starting from the 18th, the head of the household can directly visit the bank linked to their card to charge credit or debit card points. The support funds will be deposited within two days.

Pohang Sarang Gift Certificates and prepaid cards can be applied for by the head of the household visiting eup, myeon, and dong community centers starting from the 18th. The legal representative of the head of the household or the same ‘household member’ can apply on behalf by visiting with their own ID, the head of household’s ID, a power of attorney, and proof of relationship.

Meanwhile, Pohang City will apply a 5-day rotation system for offline registration of the emergency disaster relief fund, similar to the public mask sales system. Pohang Sarang Gift Certificates are scheduled to be distributed sequentially after mid-June.
