[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] On the 12th, a relatively heavy rain fell in a short period of time in the Seoul metropolitan area, including Seoul and Incheon, causing flooding on roads and other rain-related damage.


In particular, due to fallen leaves recently, the roadside storm drains were blocked, causing water to remain on some roads and sidewalks, resulting in significant difficulties for vehicle traffic and pedestrian movement, leading to numerous complaints.


On this day, Park Gang-su, Mayor of Mapo-gu, held an emergency meeting with related departments such as the Resource Circulation Division, Road Improvement Division, and Water Management Division to maintain storm drains and prevent flooding on major roads in preparation for sudden heavy rain.


In Mapo-gu, flooding occurred on some roads, including the Gongdeok Station intersection, due to blocked roadside storm drains caused by fallen leaves. In response, Mayor Park Gang-su visited the site with staff to remove the leaves blocking the storm drains, preventing further flooding and strengthening patrols to prevent flood damage.



Mayor Park Gang-su said, “By monitoring the weather situation on this day and holding an emergency meeting with related departments, we were able to minimize damage by removing the leaves accumulated in the storm drains in advance. Since sudden heavy rain is difficult to predict, we will strengthen patrols of major roads and flood-prone areas regularly to prevent flood damage.”
