Chairman Jeon Tae-wan said, “I was deeply saddened to see the typhoon damage in the Gyeongbuk area,” and added, “I hope this can be of some help in a situation where many evacuees desperately need assistance due to the typhoon damage.”

The city plans to actively support recovery efforts so that the citizens of Pohang who suffered from the typhoon damage can be comforted and return to a healthy daily life as soon as possible.

Kim Jong-pil, Director of the Welfare, Women, and Health Bureau, expressed gratitude to the volunteers who participated to help the flood victims recover quickly and return to their daily lives, saying, “We hope that swift recovery will be achieved so that the lives of the affected residents can stabilize quickly.”
