Ministry of the Interior and Safety Provides 1.22 Billion KRW in Special Grants and Disaster Relief Funds to Gyeongbuk for Typhoon 'Omais' Damage

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Ministry of the Interior and Safety announced on the 3rd that it will provide 1.222 billion KRW in special grants and disaster relief support funds to the Gyeongbuk region, which suffered the most damage from Typhoon Omais, the 12th typhoon, and heavy rains that occurred at the end of August.

This support is intended for emergency restoration of damaged facilities caused by the heavy rains and relief for disaster victims, with the scale of support determined by comprehensively considering the extent of facility damage and the number of disaster victims in each region.

The special grants are for emergency restoration of facilities damaged by disasters such as road and stone wall collapses, river erosion, and slope soil runoff in the affected areas. 1.2 billion KRW will be allocated to Gyeongbuk, and 22 million KRW of relief funds will be provided to Pohang, Gyeongbuk, where the highest number of disaster victims occurred, for costs necessary for relief such as operation of temporary housing facilities and rental fees for relief equipment.

Minister Jeon Hae-cheol said, “We hope that the financial support provided this time will help the rapid emergency restoration of the areas damaged by the typhoon and heavy rains and the return to daily life of the disaster victims,” adding, “We will ensure that emergency restoration and relief for disaster victims proceed smoothly before the upcoming Chuseok holiday.”
