On-site Response Status Checked During Visits to Vulnerable Areas

On the 15th at 2 p.m., Hapcheon County in Gyeongnam Province announced on the 17th that Vice Governor Lee Seon-gi and responsible officials directly visited areas at risk of casualties due to concentrated summer heavy rains within Hapcheon County to conduct on-site inspections.

Accordingly, the county held an emergency inspection meeting in the morning, presided over by Vice Governor Lee Seon-gi, with 13 collaborative departments in attendance.

After the emergency meeting, Vice Governor Lee, along with department heads, visited disaster prevention and vulnerable areas such as Jeongyang Leisure Sports Park, Oesamhak Drainage Pump Station, and Byeongbaebae Pump Station in Hapcheon to listen to on-site response measures and jointly inspect disaster risk factors and residents’ inconveniences.

Vice Governor Lee stated, “Hapcheon County is making every effort to ensure the safety of disaster-prone areas and minimize damage,” adding, “For places with a high possibility of human casualties, we will mobilize all administrative power to enable preemptive evacuation and ensure thorough safety.”
