Inspection of Safety Management Status for Nationally Designated Cultural Heritage Buildings

300 Sites Including Wanju Hwaamsa Geungnakjeon and Haenam Mihwangsa Daeungjeon

The Cultural Heritage Administration announced on the 8th that it will conduct a 'National Safety Inspection' for one month starting from the 10th. This preventive activity involves the government, local governments, and private experts inspecting the safety management status of cultural heritage during June and July, when wind and flood disasters are expected. It is conducted annually to prepare for various disasters. This year, 300 nationally designated tangible cultural properties, including Wanju Hwaamsa Geungnakjeon (National Treasure No. 316) and Haenam Mihwangsa Daeungjeon (Treasure No. 947), will be inspected. The main inspection items include ▲ the safety status of cultural heritage and surrounding facilities ▲ operation status of fire-fighting equipment ▲ safety status of electrical and gas facilities ▲ duty status of security guards ▲ disaster response manuals ▲ availability of emergency contact networks. The Cultural Heritage Administration's safety inspection team will conduct inspections together with experts in cultural heritage, fire safety, electricity, and gas fields. If any issues are identified, corrective actions will be taken on-site. In cases where urgent repairs and reinforcements are necessary, emergency repair funds will be provided. An official stated, "If short-term measures are difficult, we plan to secure budgets later and establish a multi-year plan for action."
