[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Song Jong-gu] Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam Province held a disaster safety countermeasures headquarters meeting on the 18th during heavy rain and began operating an emergency duty system by thoroughly inspecting the response situation system.

The city immediately activated the disaster safety countermeasures headquarters and emergency duty system in response to the weather forecast from the Korea Meteorological Administration predicting a heavy rain advisory and rainfall exceeding 200mm, focusing on thorough prevention of disaster damage.

In particular, at the inspection meeting chaired by First Deputy Mayor An Kyung-won, focused inspections were conducted on the pre-inspection of habitual damage areas and disaster-vulnerable sites, the operational status of disaster prevention facilities such as drainage pump stations, the operation status of the disaster safety countermeasures headquarters task force and updating of the action manual, and the support system for disaster-vulnerable groups, making efforts to minimize damage from the heavy rain.

First Deputy Mayor An emphasized again that “We will do our best to protect citizens' lives and property by strengthening the response system against various natural disasters during the summer, including this heavy rain,” stating that citizens' safety is the most important and top priority.

Meanwhile, since May, the city has proactively strengthened the summer disaster prevention system by conducting regular inspections of disaster-vulnerable areas, establishing operational readiness of disaster prevention facilities, and conducting response drills in preparation for summer natural disasters such as typhoons and heavy rain.
