He further urged the advancement of fundamental response measures such as deep drainage tunnels and artificial intelligence (AI) early warning systems to prepare for unprecedented disaster situations caused by climate change.

Prime Minister Han said, "There is much effort from those working hard on-site to restore damages," and added, "We will mobilize all available policy tools to ensure swift recovery and support, as well as thorough establishment of fundamental response measures."

President Yoon also addressed the delivery price linkage system, stating, "There is a need to create a good model for win-win growth and cooperation between large and small-to-medium enterprises," and ordered, "Please collect diverse opinions from the field through pilot operations and prepare reasonable measures."
