LH, Fully Committed to Supporting Disaster Recovery for Victims of Heavy Rainfall

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo In-ho] Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) announced on the 14th that it has prepared a comprehensive support plan for disaster victims and local communities affected by the recent heavy rains, and plans to devote all efforts to support recovery from the damage.

The comprehensive recovery plan includes emergency recovery support for disaster victims who lost their homes due to flooding, as well as long-term support measures such as wallpaper and flooring replacement.

LH has been stockpiling emergency relief kits consisting of clothing, hygiene products, and medicines needed in the early stages of disasters, and has been providing them to necessary locations whenever national disasters such as typhoons occur. In fact, LH provided more than 2,100 emergency relief kits to disaster victims in areas recently affected by flooding, such as Daejeon and Namwon.

For the next three months, LH will operate a recovery focus week every month. This month, urgent recovery and support for daily necessities such as household goods and bottled water will be provided, and in September and October, wallpaper and flooring replacement projects will be carried out for about 200 flood-affected vulnerable households.

On the 13th, LH’s volunteer group, consisting of about 100 LH employees, visited the flood-affected site in Gurye-gun, Jeollanam-do, which suffered severe damage, to assist with facility demolition and livestock barn restoration. Considering that the damage is nationwide, 14 regional headquarters across the country plan to carry out customized local recovery efforts individually.

Jang Chung-mo, Head of LH’s Management Innovation Headquarters, said, “As an institution responsible for the living and resting places of the people, LH will do its best to support the affected citizens so that they can return to their daily lives as soon as possible following the recent heavy rains.”
