Suncheon City Responds Swiftly to Cold Wave and Heavy Snow Warnings... Busy with Snow Removal Operations

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] As of the 7th, up to 4.7 cm of snow fell in Suncheon City, prompting a heavy snow warning. Suncheon City has entered a level 3 emergency operation and started snow removal work.

Starting around 3:30 a.m. on the 7th, 11 pieces of equipment including excavators and 18 personnel were deployed to begin snow removal on major roads. Additionally, about 700 people including staff from each eup, myeon, and dong administrative welfare center and the city hall are conducting snow removal on village access roads and village streets.

Suncheon City has confirmed that there have been no casualties or property damage due to the heavy snow so far. However, to prevent accidents, the Nogochi road between Seungju and Woldeung has been closed until snow removal is completed.

Bus operations in the city were delayed due to accumulated snow, but smooth snow removal allowed traffic in the downtown area to resume normally in the morning.

A Suncheon City official stated, “With the rare heavy snowfall, all employees responded quickly and attentively, preventing any damage.” He added, “Since heavy snow and cold waves are forecast to continue through this weekend, it is important to pay attention to facility management and health care to avoid any damage.”
