Gurye-gun Implements Safety Insurance Benefiting All Residents

Up to 10 Million KRW Coverage Per Person for Deaths Due to Natural Disasters

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Gurye-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 18th that it will implement the Gurye-gun Citizen Safety Mutual Aid Insurance for all residents again this year, following last year.

The Citizen Safety Mutual Aid Insurance is a system in which the county pays the insurance premiums and provides a certain amount of compensation to residents who suffer damage from disasters and accidents, enabling them to return to daily life early.

The insurance subscription target includes residents registered and residing in Gurye-gun (including foreigners), and insurance benefits can be received even if the insured moves in during the contract period or suffers an accident in another area.

The coverage items include 11 categories such as death from natural disasters, fire, collapse, death or disability from agricultural machinery accidents, and overlapping compensation is possible regardless of other insurances.

The benefits are divided into death and disability, with a maximum death compensation of up to 10 million KRW per person.

To claim insurance benefits, residents must report the damage situation to the county Safety and Urban Affairs Division, fill out the insurance claim application form following the staff's guidance, and submit it to the insurance company.

In 2019, there was a case where a resident who suffered damage from an agricultural machinery accident received an insurance payment of 10 million KRW.

County Governor Kim Soon-ho said, “The Citizen Safety Insurance is an advanced safety welfare system that helps residents quickly return to daily life after unexpected disasters or accidents,” and added, “We will establish a foundation to make Gurye a safe place for all residents.”

Gurye-gun plans to continue promoting the Citizen Safety Insurance as an effective living safety support system for residents.
