[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Changwon City, Gyeongnam, held an emergency briefing on the 12th to identify potential problems that may arise if the urea solution shortage prolongs and to establish countermeasures in advance.


The city elevated the Urea Solution Emergency Task Force, formed on the 10th, to an Emergency Response Headquarters.


The First Deputy Mayor serves as the head, and the organization includes a Situation Management Team, Support Team, and 11 sector-specific response teams to actively respond to the urea solution issue until the situation stabilizes.


First, in the public sector, all efforts will be made to secure additional urea solution and take related measures to ensure the normal operation of public transportation companies using urea solution such as city buses and village buses, local waste incineration facilities and cleaning vehicles, fire trucks, ambulances, and other emergency vehicles.


At the same time, the city plans to closely monitor the supply and demand trends and issues of urea solution in the private sector, including freight trucks, charter buses, and passenger cars, and actively respond by making recommendations to Gyeongnam Province and the government if necessary.



Mayor Heo Seong-mu stated, "If the urea solution shortage prolongs, various problems may occur," and added, "We will do our best to ensure that citizens do not experience inconvenience by employing all feasible methods."
