[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seongbuk-gu (Mayor Lee Seung-ro) conducted the 285th "Safety Inspection Day" event by carrying out on-site inspections related to flood and water damage, including the Jangwi Rainwater Pump Station.

This inspection involved Deputy Mayor Son Jeong-su and about 20 staff members from related departments such as the Water Management Division, comprehensively checking not only the safety management status of the electrical facilities at the Jangwi Rainwater Pump Station but also the emergency response procedures during heavy rain.

In particular, due to strengthened quarantine measures targeting the metropolitan area, the event was held with only essential personnel participating to prevent the spread of infectious diseases, and all attendees strictly adhered to personal quarantine guidelines.

Deputy Mayor Son Jeong-su urged, "As abnormal weather is expected to cause heavy rain and frequent typhoons recently, please strengthen on-site inspections to prepare for flood and water damage safety accidents and make every effort to prevent damage to residents caused by flooding."

He also reiterated, "In accordance with weather warnings, please enhance the operational capability of the rainwater pump station not only through facility inspections but also through simulation drills to ensure timely operation of the pump station."

The district plans to conduct regular rainwater pump station operation drills from June to October to continuously strengthen its flood and water damage response capabilities.
