Ministry of the Interior and Safety Conducts Central Joint Inspection of 119 Locations in Flood Damage Risk Areas During Monsoon Season

Dangerous Areas Including Mountainous Terrain, Underpass Sites, and Riverside Parking Lots

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Ministry of the Interior and Safety announced that it will conduct a joint inspection with related organizations and the private sector on areas at risk of human casualties during the rainy season from the 18th to the 22nd.

This inspection is part of the "Great Safety Transformation of the Republic of Korea" and targets areas at risk of human casualties due to heavy rains during the rainy season, including wildfire-affected areas, riverside parking lots, and underground passages.

Prior to this joint inspection, from June 28, city, county, and district offices and related organizations have been conducting a comprehensive inspection of areas at risk of human casualties under their jurisdiction. In this central joint inspection, samples selected by each province will be inspected.

Additionally, inspections will be conducted with the direct participation of private experts, village chiefs, and local residents, allowing residents to examine areas at risk of human casualties within their communities themselves. For the issues pointed out in the inspection results, each province will establish an action plan and promptly make improvements by early August.

Minister Lee Sang-min stated, "To minimize human casualties during the repeatedly rainy rainy season, inspections of hazardous areas are of utmost importance," and added, "Through this central joint inspection, we will check and supplement the preparedness of related organizations against heavy rains and make every effort to protect the lives and property of the people from flood damage."
