Pohang City "Beware of Unfair Business Practices by Loss Adjusters" ... 'Earthquake Damage Relief' Traveling Education Program

Visiting Eup, Myeon, and Dong Touring Education Until the 18th

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Pohang City, Gyeongbuk, is conducting a 'visiting eup-myeon-dong touring education' ahead of the acceptance of victim recognition and support fund applications according to the enforcement decree of the 'Special Act on the Investigation of the Pohang Earthquake and Relief for Victims.'

According to Pohang City on the 12th, the touring education, which began on the 9th, is being prioritized in 17 eup, myeon, and dong where the number of disaster relief fund applications at the time of the earthquake damage exceeded 1,000 cases.

The touring education focuses on application methods including damage assessment, which citizens are most curious about, required documents, and application procedures. The application period for earthquake damage relief will be about one year, from the 21st of this month until August next year.

Pohang City plans to provide basic manuals related to damage assessment to affected residents with the support of the Pohang branch of the Korea Damage Assessment Association. This is to preemptively block the risk of some private damage assessment companies conducting unfair business targeting citizens when there is a lack of supporting evidence.

A Pohang City official said, "The eup-myeon-dong touring education will be very helpful to citizens who felt at a loss due to having no information about damage applications," and added, "We are making thorough preparations so that citizens can conveniently apply directly without document agency services through this education."
