Yeosu City, Proactive Prevention of Safety Accidents: Inspection and Maintenance of 'Disaster-Vulnerable Households'

Safety Inspection of Electrical Facilities for 375 Households, Distribution of Firefighting Equipment to 1,195 Households Underway

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Yeosu City (Mayor Kwon Oh-bong) has rolled up its sleeves since March to prevent safety accidents by inspecting electrical facilities and distributing firefighting supplies to disaster-vulnerable households.

By the end of July, the city conducted electrical inspections and maintenance for 375 disaster-vulnerable households.

To enable prompt on-site response, electrical specialists visited the households to focus on maintaining circuit breakers and indoor wiring conditions, taking the lead in preventing electrical fire accidents at home.

Additionally, in cooperation with Yeosu Fire Station, firefighting supplies will be distributed free of charge to 1,195 households, including basic livelihood security recipients and lower-income groups, by the end of September.

The city plans to do its best to prevent safety accidents by providing fire extinguishers, installing standalone smoke detectors, and conducting fire safety education for disaster-vulnerable households.

Previously, the city selected households at high risk of disaster accidents by receiving recommendations for low-income groups such as basic livelihood security recipients, lower-income groups, as well as elderly living alone with physical difficulties and disabled persons through eup, myeon, and dong community centers.

A city official said, “Through this project, we expect to prevent disaster accidents in disaster-vulnerable households with poor electrical and fire safety by proactive maintenance. We will continue to provide support to disaster-vulnerable households to eliminate safety blind spots and risk factors.”
