[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] Gyeongsangnam-do announced on the 4th that it is promoting the '2020 Winter Natural Disaster Pre-Preparation' until the 14th to ensure that residents can safely get through the winter by preparing for heavy snow and cold waves during the winter season.

Based on the pre-preparation, the province plans to actively respond to natural disasters during the winter natural disaster countermeasure period from the 15th to March 15 of next year.

As a pre-preparation measure, the province first formed a winter natural disaster collaboration function T/F team consisting of 13 teams, including an emergency recovery team for facility damage, to prepare for natural disasters in each relevant field.

In addition, an emergency duty system by disaster stage was established to ensure rapid situation management and response system in case of disaster occurrence, and pre-measures were established for areas expected to experience traffic disruption due to heavy snow. A close cooperation system was established with road management authorities to prevent traffic accidents caused by road icing.

Shin Dae-ho, Head of the Disaster Safety and Construction Headquarters of the province, said, “We will devote all our efforts to ensure that residents can safely get through the winter through thorough pre-preparation and close cooperation systems.”
