'Prevent a Second Pohang Apartment Flooding Incident'... Gyeonggi-do Provides Consultation on Flood Prevention Facility Installation

Gyeonggi Province provides technical consultation to prevent flooding accidents in underground parking lots of apartment complexes.

Gyeonggi Province is launching a technical support project for flood prevention facilities in underground parking lots of apartment complexes.

The province announced on the 20th that, to prevent disasters like the "Pohang Apartment Underground Parking Lot Flooding Accident" last summer, which caused multiple casualties, it will focus on providing technical advice for installing flood prevention facilities in underground parking lots of apartment complexes during the first half of this year through the "Gyeonggi Province Apartment Complex Technical Advisory Group."

The Apartment Complex Technical Advisory Group consists of 100 private experts and public officials from 10 fields including architectural construction, civil engineering, electrical, and elevators. They visit sites directly during maintenance work on common facilities of apartment complexes to provide free technical support throughout all stages of maintenance, from technical advice to design and construction consultation.

Resident representative meetings of apartment complexes wishing to receive technical advice can apply by visiting the Gyeonggi Province website.

Additionally, when establishing safety management plans in apartment complexes, the province will include measures for flood prevention and response in parking lots, and conduct safety inspections of underground parking lots during the rainy season safety checks.

Lee Yeon-gi, head of the Apartment Complex Technical Support Team at the province, emphasized, "Experts visiting the site directly to provide advice and consultation on flood prevention is highly effective," and added, "We will actively strive to create a pleasant and safe residential environment."
