BGF Retail Provides Emergency Relief Supplies to Milyang Wildfire Damage Site

BGF Retail provided emergency relief supplies for disaster victims and wildfire suppression personnel in Miryang, Gyeongnam.

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] BGF Retail announced on the 3rd that it has provided emergency relief supplies for evacuees and wildfire suppression personnel in Miryang, Gyeongnam.

Since the wildfire began, BGF Retail established a hotline with the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and the National Disaster Relief Association to monitor the situation on-site in real time. Upon receiving the support request, it immediately activated the national disaster emergency relief operation, BGF Bridge, and delivered relief supplies stored at the BGF Logistics Chilgok Center to the official support location, the wildfire command post.

The relief supplies provided this time consist of food and beverages for a total of 1,500 servings, including coffee, carbonated drinks, chocolate bars, and cup noodles, which will be distributed to evacuees as well as firefighting personnel participating in the suppression efforts. These items were selected based on the highest demand products when BGF Retail directly visited the Uljin wildfire relief site last March. Additional support is being considered depending on the wildfire spread situation.

A BGF Retail official said, “We have provided support so that the residents affected by the sudden wildfire can regain stability as soon as possible,” adding, “We will continue to strengthen the social function of convenience store infrastructure to provide swift assistance 24/7 in preparation for crisis situations in daily life.”
