Namwon-si, Full Effort to Complete Flood Recovery Before Monsoon Season

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Nosik] Namwon City, Jeonbuk, is making every effort to complete flood damage restoration caused by last year's heavy rain before the rainy season.

According to Namwon City, from August 7 to 9 last year, heavy rain fell in the Namwon area (cumulative 534mm in Daegang-myeon, 493mm in Suji-myeon), resulting in 1,250 evacuees from 450 households.

For public facilities, restoration work is being carried out on a total of 474 cases with an investment of 150.4 billion KRW, and 170 sites have been completed so far. This year, 297 cases will be completed, and all restoration work is scheduled to be finished next year.

However, for areas that cannot be completed before next month, reinforcement work will be completed to prevent secondary flood damage, preparing for heavy rain during the rainy season.

A Namwon City official stated, “We are urgently allocating contingency funds and disaster management funds for unreported flood damage and promoting emergency restoration work. We will do our best to complete it before the farming season to avoid inconvenience to farming and residents' lives.”
