On-site Inspection of Operation Status of Early Warning Systems for Hongjecheon and Bulgwangcheon

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seodaemun-gu (Mayor Moon Seok-jin) recently inspected the disaster preparedness status of 101 locations vulnerable to wind and flood damage, such as large construction sites, rivers, and slopes, as well as 14 community service centers.

The district focused on examining flood and wind damage prevention plans, the status of securing flood control materials and equipment, and the maintenance status of flood-prone areas.

As a result, 29 issues were found, including improper drainage facilities at construction site sedimentation ponds and inadequate management of flood control materials at community service centers, and corrective actions were ordered.

Additionally, to prepare for river accidents caused by localized heavy rains during the summer, the operation status of the forecast and warning systems for Hongjecheon and Bulgwangcheon streams was checked through on-site demonstrations.

Moon Seok-jin, Mayor of Seodaemun-gu, said, “Concerns about abnormal weather phenomena are increasing every year due to global warming. Thorough prior preparation and residents' cooperation, such as adhering to river access restrictions during emergencies, can minimize damage.”
