Jinan-gun Prepares Comprehensive Measures for Heatwave

Heatwave Countermeasure Period Until September 30

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Tae-in] Jinangun, Jeonbuk announced on the 17th that it has prepared a comprehensive plan to protect the safety of residents from the heatwave this summer as the daytime high temperature begins to exceed 30℃.

According to the county, the heatwave countermeasure period is set until September 30, and a joint TF team composed of a situation management team and a health management support team is currently operating.

The joint TF team, which operates flexibly during heatwave warnings, will be responsible for various roles and support, including promoting comprehensive measures related to heatwaves, managing vulnerable groups, publicizing national action guidelines, and monitoring heat-related illnesses.

In particular, this summer, due to concerns about the spread of COVID-19, 207 cooling shelters such as senior centers and village halls cannot be operated, so alternatives are being prepared.

Additionally, plans include focused management of vulnerable groups to heatwaves, support for promotional materials, and establishing an emergency contact network using disaster helpers.

Jeon Chun-seong, Jinangun County Governor, said, “We will thoroughly prepare for COVID-19 while also implementing heatwave countermeasures without any gaps,” and urged, “Residents should refrain from going out as much as possible during heatwaves and take thorough personal care.”
