Suncheon-si Conducts Safety Inspections of Disaster-Vulnerable Facilities During Thawing Season

Early Detection and Resolution of Risk Factors through Proactive Safety Inspections

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City announced on the 11th that it will conduct safety inspections until the 31st targeting areas where the ground surface, frozen during the thawing period, has melted, causing ground weakening and soil erosion, raising concerns about potential accidents.

The city selected 285 sites across five categories including retaining walls, steep slopes, large construction sites, and old houses to conduct focused inspections on the structural safety status, ground subsidence, aging of drainage facilities, installation status of warning signs in hazardous areas, and the installation and maintenance status of safety facilities.

To ensure practical inspections, the city formed joint inspection teams with private experts. Based on the inspection results, minor issues will be addressed immediately on-site, and areas at risk of collapse will undergo detailed safety diagnoses and repair and reinforcement work to prevent disaster accidents in advance.

A Suncheon City official stated, “We will create a safe and comfortable Suncheon City by early detecting risk factors during the thawing period and taking proactive safety measures.” He added, “If you discover hazardous elements around your living spaces, please actively report them through the Safety Report app or relevant agencies so that risk factors can be resolved in advance.”
