Free Distribution of Deicing Agents at Dong Resident Center for Interested Residents and Merchants
- Additional Stocking in Snow Removal Boxes and Calcium Chloride Storage Boxes

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gwangjin-gu will provide de-icing agents (calcium chloride) free of charge to residents in advance to prepare for snow damage, as snow is forecasted to fall in the Seoul area from the afternoon of the 17th to the 18th.

The district surveyed the demand for de-icing agents by neighborhood to encourage residents to participate in "clearing snow in front of their homes and stores," and distributed 1,810 bags of 6kg and 960 bags of 25kg.

Each neighborhood community center stocked 25kg de-icing agents in de-icing boxes and calcium chloride storage boxes located on major side roads with heavy traffic, steep slopes, shaded areas, and other vulnerable locations.

Additionally, 6kg small bags were prepared for easy use and distributed to residents and merchants who requested them.

Kim Seon-gap, mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, "There is a risk of pedestrian accidents during heavy snowfall and cold waves, so immediate response through cooperation from nearby residents and building managers is necessary," and added, "We will actively support the distribution of small-sized de-icing agents by neighborhood so that residents can use them conveniently and participate."
