Jinan-gun, Rapid Response for Inspection and Recovery of Heavy Rain Damage

An Ho-young, National Assembly Member, and Jeon Chun-seong, County Governor, Inspect Heavy Rain Damage Sites

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Tae-in] Congressman An Ho-young and Jin Chun-seong, Jinangun County Governor, visited the site of the washed-out Wongangjeong road bridge in Maryeong-myeon and the Seongsu-myeon office on the 9th, when a heavy rain warning was issued, to check support measures for disaster victims and to inspect the heavy rain damage and response situation.

Since the 7th, Jinangun has experienced damage in various places due to concentrated heavy rain with a cumulative rainfall of 450mm, like a water bomb.

Also, due to the sudden rain, rivers and reservoirs overflowed, causing flooding concerns, and about 380 residents of 13 villages were urgently evacuated to the township office and village halls. In addition, seven roads including Local Road No. 725 in front of Yangmyeong Village, Jucheon-myeon, were flooded or washed away, leading to traffic control and emergency restoration efforts.

Congressman An Ho-young urged thorough pre-inspection and emergency restoration of traffic control sections to prevent human and property damage caused by landslides and flooding due to the continuous heavy rain.

Jin Chun-seong, Jinangun County Governor, responded, "As soon as the rain stops, we will conduct damage surveys through business trips of all county office staff to the towns and townships, and we will do our best to establish rapid damage recovery by mobilizing all manpower and resources to carry out emergency restoration to minimize inconvenience to residents."
