[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi Province is conducting on-site inspections of major facilities and measures for heavy snow preparedness, including 128 snow removal forward bases and 11,640 snow removal boxes, in preparation for heavy snowfall.

By the 9th, Gyeonggi Province will focus on inspecting major facilities for heavy snow preparedness within the province, including ▲ the storage status of snow removal agents and management status of snow removal equipment at 128 snow removal forward bases ▲ the normal operation and management status of 592 automatic snow removal devices ▲ the availability of snow removal tools in 11,640 snow removal boxes and whether the managing department and contact information are recorded ▲ corrosion of pillars and occurrence of building leaks in 514 snow-vulnerable structures.

The province plans to check the stocking and cleanliness of snow removal items such as calcium chloride, sandbags, and snow shovels inside the snow removal boxes to ensure they can be used immediately when it snows. It will also closely examine the management status of snow removal agents and snow removal vehicles and equipment at the snow removal forward bases.

Additionally, for 12 cities and counties adjacent to the metropolitan area with heavy traffic, the province plans to request confirmation of mutual contact systems among snow removal personnel to enable joint snow removal efforts.

In particular, to prevent damage to rivers and street trees caused by indiscriminate use of snow removal agents, the province will inspect eco-friendly snow removal measures in each city and county to minimize environmental impact.

Lee Jin-chan, Director of the Provincial Safety Management Office, said, "We will do our best to ensure thorough safety management and inspections so that all residents can spend the winter with peace of mind," and urged, "Residents are also asked to prepare emergency supplies in advance in case of disasters and to monitor weather conditions in real time through television, radio, internet, and smartphones when heavy snow is forecast to be prepared accordingly."
