[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] Jeongeup City, Jeonbuk Province announced on the 13th that it has established a comprehensive summer disaster countermeasure plan and will operate an 'Agricultural Disaster Countermeasure Situation Room' to minimize agricultural damage caused by heavy summer rains, typhoons, and heatwaves.

The city plans to proactively respond to agricultural disasters caused by heavy rains, typhoons, and heatwaves through the operation of the situation room to minimize damage.

The situation room is composed of 9 members in 3 teams. It will be operated by establishing a duty and emergency contact system in cooperation with affiliated organizations under its jurisdiction.

In case of damage or emergency situations, the system will switch to emergency mode to support rapid on-site inspections and damage recovery, responding as quickly as possible.

Additionally, management guidelines for crops and livestock facilities will be distributed in advance to farmers to focus on preventing agricultural disasters and minimizing damage.
