Dongjak-gu Completes Emergency Inspections of Slopes and Other Areas in Preparation for Wind and Flood Damage

Approximately 83 Sites Inspected Including Facilities and Civil Complaint Locations... Thorough Prevention of Safety Accidents

Dongjak-gu (Mayor Park Ilha) announced that it has completed emergency inspections targeting approximately 83 sites, including slopes, retaining walls, facilities, and civil complaint locations, from the 18th to the 21st to prepare for flood damage.

This inspection was urgently conducted to prevent flood damage as heavy rain is expected again in the Seoul area over the weekend.

The main inspection targets were steep slopes, retaining walls, and terraces managed by each department, as well as civil complaint sites received this year by the district and the Architectural Safety Center.

Experts from four fields including architecture and construction safety, belonging to the local Architectural Safety Center, directly participated in the inspection.

The district maintained drainage channels around vulnerable facilities and installed temporary waterproof sheets, and completed safety measures such as installing safety belts and waterproof sheets at civil complaint sites.

Additionally, safety fences were installed to provide safety devices for residents passing through.

Furthermore, even after the emergency inspections are completed, if requests for facility inspections are received, on-site investigations will be conducted immediately.

This year, the district has allocated a total of 22.3 billion KRW in disaster reserve funds to thoroughly prepare for disasters such as wind and flood damage and heatwaves.

Park Ilha, Mayor of Dongjak-gu, emphasized, “As nationwide monsoon damage is increasing, we will prioritize the solid safety of residents and thoroughly implement preventive measures to prevent flood damage.”
