[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Jeonnam Police Agency announced on the 28th that it conducted a two-week preemptive inspection from the 11th to the 24th to prepare for summer disasters and hazards and to check dangerous areas.


The inspection targeted risk factors directly related to the safety of residents' daily lives, including areas vulnerable to summer natural disasters such as heavy rain or typhoons: ▲cut slopes and retaining walls prone to collapse ▲frequently flooded areas ▲large-scale construction sites with potential safety accident risks.


In particular, to enhance the effectiveness of the inspection, a public-private joint inspection method was conducted involving the police, local governments, village chiefs familiar with local conditions, and community patrol teams.


Through this inspection, safety checks were conducted on a total of 402 vulnerable sites, including on-site inspections of 344 previously designated risk management locations, as well as the discovery and addition of 58 new disaster risk areas such as landslide-prone areas on Yeongsan-ro in Mokpo City and flood-prone river parking lots in Nampyeong-eup, Naju City.


Among these, immediate facility improvements were requested from relevant agencies for 50 sites judged to have a very high risk of safety accidents, and special management plans will be implemented going forward.



Park Jiyoung, head of Jeonnam Police Agency, said, “Creating the safest Jeonnam is important to do together with the local community,” and added, “Jeonnam Police will continue to strive to ensure the safety of residents through cooperation with related agencies and local residents.”
