Gyeonggi Province will conduct pre-inspections of hazardous areas in anticipation of heavy rainfall expected from the 4th to the 6th.

Starting from 6 PM on the 4th until 12 PM on the 6th, with a forecasted rainfall of 70 to 130mm, the province urgently instructed 31 cities and counties on the 2nd to remove cigarette butts, trash, and fallen leaves that obstruct drainage in rainwater inlets and drainage pipes, and to check the operation of blocking facilities (pump facilities) such as riverside parking lots, Sewolgyo Bridge, and underpasses.

In particular, with the holiday approaching, the province notified cities and counties to thoroughly verify the operation of disaster warning systems in hazardous areas such as slopes in parks, campgrounds, beaches where many visitors are expected, as well as mountainous valleys and rapid river currents.

The province also plans to send urgent disaster safety text messages containing safety measures and action guidelines in case of disaster to ensure the safety of tourists in disaster-prone areas such as slopes, rivers, and mountainous valleys.

Yeon Je-chan, Director of the Provincial Safety Management Office, stated, "We have established evacuation plans including focused management of drainage facilities in flood-prone areas and designating responsible officials to assist vulnerable disaster victims in evacuation." He added, "In celebration of Children's Day, we will do our best in safety management such as pre-inspections and monitoring of areas at risk of casualties to ensure the safety of family groups."
