Yeongdeok County is making every effort to prepare for summer flood and wind damage (Kim Dong-hee, Deputy Governor of Yeongdeok, conducting an on-site inspection).

Kim Dong-hee, Deputy Governor of Yeongdeok, accompanied by staff from the Safety Disaster Construction Division, which is responsible for natural disasters, has been sequentially inspecting areas at risk of casualties and large-scale construction sites within the jurisdiction since June. He also personally visited towns and townships to actively promote resident action guidelines for hydrometeorological disaster preparedness, urging thorough efforts to prevent damage.

Deputy Governor Kim also instructed that disaster-vulnerable individuals be thoroughly identified and that resident evacuation plans be established to ensure that individual duties do not overlap.

Yeongdeok-gun has organized a pre-monitoring team led by the Deputy Governor, with all departments and staff participating without division of duties to prepare for disasters and be ready for deployment in case of emergencies.

Deputy Governor Kim Dong-hee stated, “In the event of heavy rain, even the detection of a small risk factor should prompt swift evacuation of residents, responding proactively to an excessive degree.” He added, “While we cannot prevent upcoming disasters, we will continue our best efforts to achieve zero casualties and minimize inconvenience to residents.”
