Daegu Mayor Hong Jun-pyo: "We Will Generously Support Flood Victims" ... Initial Support of 200 Million KRW Each for Gyeongbuk and Chungnambuk

On the 17th, Daegu City decided to support manpower and equipment for the recovery of damage in the Gyeongbuk and Chungcheong regions, which suffered severe damage such as landslides due to heavy rain, and to prioritize the provision of disaster relief funds of 400 million won (200 million won for Gyeongbuk, 100 million won for Chungbuk, and 100 million won for Chungnam) necessary for purchasing daily necessities.

At the flood damage countermeasure meeting held that day, Hong Jun-pyo, mayor of Daegu City, received news that the Gyeongbuk region suffered the greatest damage nationwide from the recent heavy rain and that a large number of disaster victims occurred. He instructed to review ways for Daegu City, a nearby neighbor, to support available manpower and equipment to the fullest extent possible.

The Central 119 Rescue Headquarters, based in Daegu, and the 50th Division have already been deployed to the damaged areas in Gyeongbuk and are conducting recovery activities. Once the urgent life-saving operations are somewhat completed, Daegu City volunteers plan to participate in recovery support in the Gyeongbuk region.

In addition, 400 million won in disaster relief funds (200 million won for Gyeongbuk, 100 million won for Chungbuk, and 100 million won for Chungnam) will be provided to the Gyeongbuk and Chungcheong regions, where many disaster victims occurred due to the recent heavy rain. Further support measures will also be considered in consultation with Gyeongbuk, Chungbuk, and Chungnam.

Mayor Hong Jun-pyo said, “It is truly unfortunate that flood damage was concentrated in the Chungcheong, Jeolla, and Gyeongbuk regions,” and added, “I hope this small support can be of help to the residents who are in despair, and we will provide generous support for a swift return to daily life.”
