Busan’s Gijang-gun has initiated proactive preventive measures in preparation for heavy rains during the monsoon season.

At the weekly work report meeting held on the 27th, Gijang-gun Mayor Oh Gyu-seok issued an order to mobilize all public officials for thorough on-site inspections and proactive preventive actions in response to the forecasted heavy rain advisory for the Busan area.

Mayor Oh said, “In the event of heavy rain, prioritize roads, sidewalks, walking trails, hiking trails, and bicycle paths that are directly linked to the safety and lives of residents, and have each department conduct surveillance activities on facilities used by residents to implement accident prevention measures.”

Gijang-gun plans to conduct a comprehensive maintenance of all facilities within its jurisdiction on the same day to minimize damage caused by heavy rain. Facilities damaged by the heavy rain on the 23rd will also be inspected for emergency repairs, and habitual flood-prone areas, lowlands, drainage channels, and sewage pipes will be thoroughly checked.

Additionally, in case of an emergency, the county will provide residents with urgent disaster text messages and village broadcasts as part of its safety policies. Upon issuance of a heavy rain special warning, the Gijang-gun Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters will be immediately activated to respond to emergencies according to the ‘Flood and Wind Disaster On-site Action Manual.’
