Myung Hyun-gwan, the head of Haenam County, stated at the regular meeting on the 15th, “Recently, due to heavy rainfall, there have been cases where village roads and other areas have not been restored in a timely manner,” and added, “I hope the towns and townships will carefully inspect from removing muddy water and trash caused by road washouts to mowing grass, so that residents do not experience any inconvenience in their daily lives.”

According to the county, during the heavy rain from the 4th to the 6th, with an average rainfall of 195mm including 351mm in Bukil-myeon, one small stream under construction collapsed, and damage occurred including lodging of barley, wheat, and oats over 1,811.2 hectares, as well as flooding of 10.5 hectares of greenhouse facilities.

The county is promoting rapid restoration after on-site investigations, and County Head Myung ordered the responsible departments and towns and townships to conduct on-site inspections and take measures regarding inconveniences at the village level that were not included in the damage assessment.

County Head Myung Hyun-gwan urged, “After the heavy rain, please thoroughly manage hygiene directly related to residents’ health, such as waste disposal and grass mowing.”

At the meeting, discussions and work instructions were also made on current issues such as continuous expansion plans following the comprehensive award at the Korea ESG Good Management Awards, support for labor and manpower supply measures in the full-scale farming season, and proactive responses to civil complaints.

County Head Myung said, “Despite the bad weather, I thank all the residents who worked hard to successfully conclude the Haenam County Residents’ Day commemorative event and the Haenam Children’s Dinosaur Festival,” and emphasized, “We will do our best to create a safe and clean Haenam so that residents do not experience any inconvenience in their daily lives.”
