Gwangjin-gu Installs CCTV and Remote Blocking Devices Along Riverbanks

Prioritizing Resident Safety by Installing River Accident Prevention Facilities on Jungnangcheon and the Han River

Immediate On-site Inspection and Activation of Remote Blocking Devices Upon Abnormalities

Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Kyung-ho) has installed CCTV and a remote blocking system along riverbanks to prevent river isolation accidents caused by heavy summer rains.

Due to global warming causing frequent sudden heavy rainfall and rising river water levels, 12 disaster management CCTVs and 2 remote blocking and monitoring devices were installed along Jungnangcheon and the Han River. This is to quickly evacuate residents living or staying near the river when water levels exceed safe limits.

The CCTVs are connected 24/7 to the disaster response control room to establish a real-time monitoring system, and the remote blocking and monitoring devices control access to the river when flooding is expected due to heavy rain.

The district’s disaster response control room monitors the CCTVs in real time and, if a dangerous situation such as isolation is detected, remotely operates the blocking devices to restrict access.

The district invested a total of 270 million KRW to install 8 CCTVs along Jungnangcheon, 4 in front of Gwangjin Information Library, and one remote blocking device and one monitoring device each in front of Gwangnam High School and at the riverside interchange.

Mayor Kim Kyung-ho stated, “We will prioritize the safety of our residents,” adding, “We will thoroughly prepare for heavy rains, prevent accidents, and devote all efforts to protecting the lives and property of our residents.”
