[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Gwiyeol] Uljin County is accelerating housing support to help disaster victims affected by the large-scale wildfire recover their daily lives.


Currently, temporary residential facilities for disaster victims are being established in three locations: SinHwa 2-ri in Buk-myeon, Sogok 1-ri, and Gomok 1-ri. The installation of temporary modular houses is scheduled to be completed this week starting with SinHwa 2-ri, followed by the other locations in sequence.


A demand survey conducted among disaster victims wishing to move into temporary modular houses identified a need for approximately 180 units. Of these, 72 units already secured will be utilized first, and negotiations are underway to produce additional units to cover the shortfall.


The county is considering measures to provide additional essential home appliances to ensure that disaster victims do not experience inconvenience while living in temporary modular houses, taking into account that wildfire damage is different from other disasters in that it is difficult to restore household goods and other belongings.



Jeon Chang-geol, the governor of Uljin County, stated, “We will provide meticulous support so that disaster victims can live stably in temporary modular houses until they secure new homes.”
