Eunpyeong-gu (Mayor Kim Mi-kyung) announced that it will provide bottled water to mobile workers such as delivery, courier, and substitute drivers who work outdoors in scorching heat.

Mobile workers need to be cautious of heat-related illnesses such as exhaustion and heatstroke during the summer. Last year, there were about 1,500 heat-related illness cases nationwide, with over 80% occurring outdoors.

Eunpyeong-gu distributes summer supplies to prevent heat-related illnesses among mobile workers at the Eunpyeong-gu Workers' Comprehensive Support Center. They are providing 2,000 bottles of water, cool kits (arm sleeves, cool scarves, wet wipes), and reflective stickers for two-wheelers free of charge until supplies run out. Any mobile worker can use this service.

Now in its third year, the Seoul City mobile workers' bottled water sharing campaign distributes bottled water to mobile workers through labor support centers and mobile worker rest areas operated by the city.

The “Ice Water Map,” which allows users to check the bottled water distribution locations by autonomous district at a glance, is available on the Eunpyeong-gu Workers' Comprehensive Support Center website.

Kim Mi-kyung, Mayor of Eunpyeong-gu, said, “As this summer is expected to bring an unprecedented prolonged heatwave, we are concerned about heat-related illnesses among mobile workers. Please remember the three key rules to prevent heat-related illnesses during heatwaves: water, shade, and rest. We hope that the cool bottled water will help you regain some vitality.”
