[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Nosik] Imsil-gun, Jeonbuk, conducted a preliminary inspection of disaster-prone areas to protect the lives and property of residents amid continuous heavy rains during the monsoon season.

On the 24th, the county announced that from the 20th, before the heavy rains began, it completed preliminary inspections of vulnerable facilities including 8 major project sites, 21 landslide risk areas, 30 areas at risk of human casualties, 20 reservoirs, and 3 stormwater detention facilities and drainage pump stations.

During the preliminary inspections, the county took immediate emergency measures in dangerous areas to alleviate residents' concerns and thoroughly prepared in advance to minimize damage caused by the heavy rains.

Additionally, the county proactively addressed disaster risk factors such as riverbed dredging and aquatic plant removal, considering water level rises during heavy rains due to river construction.

Going forward, the county plans to continuously conduct safety inspections of disaster-vulnerable facilities seasonally and periodically to eliminate potential risks during monsoon rains and minimize damage.

County Governor Shim Min said, “Since the summer monsoon may continue for some time, we will prioritize the safety of residents and pay special attention to preventing damage caused by heavy rains,” adding, “We will actively respond proactively to heavy rains in the future and further strengthen safety inspections of disaster-prone areas and facilities.”
