[Asia Economy Reporter Han Seung-gon] The disaster relief funds provided by the government to victims who are dead, missing, or injured due to natural disasters will be doubled from the existing amount. The disaster relief payments related to housing damage and flooding will also be increased.


The Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters (CDSCH) announced on the 14th that it has reviewed and approved raising the support standards for human casualties and housing-related disaster relief funds among the disaster relief funds for evacuees, to ensure early stabilization of residents affected by this year's prolonged heavy rains and to aid recovery.



Accordingly, the disaster relief fund given to the deceased or missing will increase from 10 million won to 20 million won.
