Daegu city officials visiting the Daegu Facilities Corporation site to inspect the progress of snow removal vehicles and equipment in preparation for the winter cold wave.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Daegu City announced on the 13th that it will set the period from the 15th of this month to March 15th of next year as the winter natural disaster (heavy snow and cold wave) preparedness period, focusing on "prioritizing human life protection and resolving citizen inconveniences," and will launch an all-out response system.

To ensure rapid response during snowfall, Daegu has secured 203 spreaders, 493 dump trucks, and materials including 1,991 tons of calcium chloride, maintaining a 24-hour proactive situation management and response system.

Additionally, comprehensive measures prioritizing human life protection have been established, including communication plans for expected traffic disruption areas and designation of management personnel for 226 vulnerable facilities such as old houses.

In particular, to prepare for cold waves, a TF team has been formed and operated to replace frozen water meters, minimize crop damage, and prevent harm to vulnerable groups such as elderly living alone, homeless people, and residents of small rooms.

Chae Hong-ho, Deputy Mayor of Daegu City, requested, "During heavy snowfall, administrative efforts are concentrated on clearing main roads first, which inevitably delays snow removal on side streets. Therefore, we ask citizens to actively participate by clearing snow in front of their homes and stores and by using public transportation such as subways and buses."
