Yangcheon-gu Completes Preparations for Winter Snow Removal Measures

Secured 1,100 Tons of Deicing Agent and Operate 46 Remote Spraying Devices... Winter 24-Hour Deicing Headquarters Established for Rapid Response System

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Kim Soo-young) has designated the four-month period from the 15th of this month to March 15th next year as the "Winter Snow Removal Measures Period" to ensure pedestrian safety and smooth vehicle traffic during winter. The district has completed thorough preparations, including operating a 24-hour snow removal task force to establish a rapid response system.

Yangcheon-gu has inspected the maintenance of snow removal vehicles and the operational status of snow removal chemical spreaders. Additionally, it has thoroughly prepared for swift snow removal operations by checking 1,100 tons of snow removal agents such as calcium chloride stored at two snow removal bases in Sinjeong-dong and Mok-dong, inspecting snow removal tools like shovels and snow scoops for any defects, and installing a total of 432 snow removal agent storage boxes at vulnerable points such as main roads and side streets.

In response to the recent surge in demand for rapid snow removal to ensure safety for pedestrians and vehicle traffic, the district operates a system that remotely sprays snow removal agents at vulnerable points such as side street slopes and the entrance and exit ramps of Sinjeong Bridge from the early stages of snowfall.

In particular, this year, 46 additional remote spraying devices were installed and operated on the Yangpyeong Bridge entrance ramp to strengthen initial snowfall response.

Furthermore, the district has established a private cooperation system consisting of the Autonomous Disaster Prevention Group, professional organizations, and volunteers to remove snow from sidewalks, alleys, and side streets. It plans to implement various snow removal measures together with residents. It also announced the installation of free snow removal tool boxes around street vendor stalls on major roads with dense commercial areas and heavy traffic for easy public use.

Moreover, Yangcheon-gu provides free snow removal agents according to the size of apartment complexes to encourage voluntary participation in snow removal by apartment managers.

Kim Soo-young, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, stated, "We are doing our best to establish snow removal measures and prepare in advance to prevent any inconvenience to residents caused by snowfall this winter." He added, "We ask residents to actively participate and cooperate in clearing snow in front of their homes so that their families and neighbors can stay safe."
