Muan-gun Provides 'Muan-type Disaster Relief Fund' to All Residents
Muan Sarang Gift Certificates Distributed at 100,000 Won Per Person
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Muan-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim San) will provide Muan-type disaster relief funds of 100,000 KRW per person to all residents to support citizens and revive the local economy amid the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.
According to Muan-gun on the 23rd, the eligibility date is from the 21st of this month, and residents registered in Muan-gun as of the application date are eligible. The Muan-type disaster relief funds will also be provided to marriage immigrants and permanent residents, with a total of 84,387 people expected to receive support.
To prepare the disaster relief funds, the county secured about 8.4 billion KRW by implementing stringent expenditure budget restructuring, including cutting 2.2 billion KRW from event expenses such as the Muan Lotus Festival and Youth Festival, and 2.8 billion KRW from public sector operating expenses such as office management and official travel expenses.
Accordingly, to promptly and accurately distribute the disaster relief funds before the Chuseok holiday, a ‘one public official per village system’ will be designated to ensure that residents do not experience any inconvenience.
Additionally, during the upcoming Chuseok holiday period, the county plans to foster a social atmosphere encouraging residents to refrain from visiting their hometowns as much as possible, actively promote COVID-19 prevention measures, and strengthen quarantine measures to prevent the resurgence of COVID-19.
