[Jindo＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Jindo-gun, Jeollanam-do, is investing 119.1 billion won this year to vigorously promote river maintenance projects to prepare for disaster risks.

According to the county on the 6th, to resolve flood damage concerns, infrastructure will be established in vulnerable disaster areas through river maintenance projects on Jindocheon, Gunnaecheon, Hyangdongcheon, and Cheongyongcheon.

Additionally, the Namcheon 1 Bridge and Namcheon 2 Bridge on Jindocheon will be reconstructed with landscape design.

They plan to ensure thorough management by conducting resident briefings, consultations with related organizations, detailed design and design reviews, compensation, and frequent inspections to prevent delays in each project due to civil complaints.

In particular, the Jindo-eup concentrated sewage management area maintenance project will also be promoted together with flood prevention by installing retention basins and rainwater pumping stations.

The county plans to expedite design and construction to activate the local economy, which has been stagnant due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, ensuring rapid execution of project funds.

A Jindo-gun Construction and Transportation Department official said, “To protect the lives and property of residents, we will continue to actively identify disaster-prone areas and strive to secure national and provincial funds from the central government so that Jindo residents can live safely from disasters.”

Meanwhile, disaster prevention projects are initiatives to minimize damage to residents from natural disasters such as heavy rain, typhoons, and droughts caused by rapidly changing abnormal weather. They are promoted to prevent natural disasters by preemptively resolving risk factors in areas where disasters have occurred in the past or where there is a high risk of disaster occurrence.
