The county was designated as the 3rd special disaster area after a total of 1,927 sites suffered damage amounting to 14.1 billion won, including landslides, road and farmland losses caused by the heavy rain.

Mayor Gu said, “To support the residents who are suffering double hardships due to the recent resurgence of COVID-19 and the heavy rain, the deputy mayor and senior officials have united their intentions to help the residents overcome the flood damage.”

He added, “We will mobilize all administrative capabilities to ensure that flood recovery is completed as soon as possible so that people can return to their daily lives.”

The county is currently making thorough preparations for emergency situations as concerns rise over additional damage to residents due to the northward approach of Typhoon Maysak (No. 9) and Typhoon Haishen (No. 10), which are expected to pass through inland areas with strong winds and heavy rain.
