Damyang-gun Completes Preparations for Winter Snow Removal Operations

[Damyang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yuk-bong] Jeonnam Damyang-gun (Governor Choi Hyung-sik) announced on the 26th that it held a 'Snow Removal Countermeasure Implementation Plan Meeting' on the 24th with the attendance of about 20 related officials to prepare for the winter season.

At the meeting held at the county office, it was decided to operate a snow removal task force on 175 routes covering 834 km, including national highways, local roads, county roads, and farm roads within the jurisdiction, focusing efforts on rapid snow removal work to minimize damage to the lives and property of residents caused by heavy snowfall.

To this end, a work system according to the step-by-step situation was established, and an organic cooperation system between the county and towns and townships was organized. Close and practical measures were devised regarding road snow removal work sections, methods, and suggestions.

The county formed work shifts by stages and secured 138 personnel including public officials and local residents, 7 snow removal vehicles, 2 excavators, 12 administrative vehicles, 76 privately supplied tractor-attached snow removers, and 11 1-ton truck-attached snow removers, completing pre-inspections.

Additionally, 500 tons of snow removal salt and 150 tons of eco-friendly snow removal agents were secured, and 168 snow storage boxes were deployed to ensure thorough resolution of traffic blockages caused by heavy snowfall.

A county official said, "Snow removal work due to heavy snowfall in winter is not sufficient with administrative personnel alone and requires the help of all residents," adding, "To have a safe winter without disaster accidents, active participation of residents in snow clearing campaigns in front of their homes, alleys, and stores is necessary."
