Currently, recovery work is in full swing throughout Yeosu, and on the afternoon of the 19th, Mayor Jeong Gi-myeong visited the Yulchon-myeon area, the site of the heaviest flooding in Yeosu, to inspect the recovery status and encourage the staff.

Mayor Jeong stated, “During the temporary lull in the monsoon rain, we will mobilize all available resources to focus on flood recovery and prepare for another rainy season.”

He added, “As unpredictable natural disasters such as typhoons are expected to occur more frequently due to climate anomalies, take measures to ensure permanent recovery and preparedness through safety inspections of the affected areas.”

Earlier that morning, Vice Mayor Kim Jong-gi visited the collapsed steep slope site in Ando-ri, Nam-myeon, to assess the damage.

Meanwhile, Yeosu City held an emergency inspection meeting on the response to the heavy rain during the heavy rain warning period from the 15th to the 18th, and all city officials, including Mayor Jeong Gi-myeong, engaged in on-site emergency recovery efforts to fully prevent flood damage.
