Gwangju City Hall

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Buk-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Moon In) announced on the 24th that it will implement a 'Comprehensive Plan for Summer Natural Disaster Preparedness' until next month.

This comprehensive plan was prepared to proactively respond to disaster situations, as the Gwangju area suffered significant damage from heavy rain earlier this month and Typhoon Bavi, the 8th typhoon, is approaching.

Accordingly, safety inspections will be conducted on a total of 43 disaster-risk vulnerable facilities, including natural disaster risk improvement districts, steep slopes, and small streams, to prepare for typhoons and heavy rain.

Control standards for vulnerable roads will be established, and parking spaces will be secured and operated to prepare for the occurrence of flooded vehicles.

During heatwaves, warning text messages will be sent to vulnerable groups such as children and the elderly, and outdoor work guidelines will be provided to residents in rural areas.

Inspections will be conducted on 166 cooling shelters, including 58 indoor and 108 outdoor locations, and efforts will focus on preventing heatwave damage through the operation of water spraying vehicles and management of heat reduction facilities.

Buk-gu plans to focus on disaster management during the summer period by monitoring weather information, promptly disseminating disaster alerts and warnings, and establishing an emergency work system when weather warnings are issued.

District Mayor Moon In of Buk-gu said, “Continuous attention and management are important for disaster prevention,” and added, “We will do our best to protect residents' safety and prevent damage by establishing a more thorough disaster management system in the future.”
