[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Yeosu City (Mayor Kwon Oh-bong) announced that it will operate a ‘24-hour comprehensive situation room’ for five days from tomorrow until the 4th of next month to ensure that citizens have a safe and comfortable Chuseok holiday.

The city has organized six task forces in areas closely related to citizens’ lives, such as disaster and accident response, road and traffic, civil complaints, health and medical care, and tourism. A total of 427 personnel, including 87 per day, will be deployed to thoroughly implement comprehensive measures so that citizens and returning visitors can have a safe and comfortable Chuseok holiday.

Before the holiday, safety inspections will be conducted on multi-use facilities, construction sites, and transportation convenience facilities, and a disaster and accident situation room will be operated during the holiday period to respond immediately to emergencies.

Through the operation of traffic control task forces at major tourist spots and the comprehensive situation room for household waste disposal measures, the city will assist residents’ convenience. In addition, duty medical institutions, emergency medical institutions, and holiday pharmacies will be operated, while social welfare facilities and low-income households will also be cared for.

Fourteen essential Chuseok items, major items and industries expected to see price increases such as restaurants, traditional markets, and large marts will also be intensively managed.
