50 Gyeongbuk Provincial Assembly Members and Secretariat Staff Sweat It Out for Flood Recovery in Yecheon Gamcheon

Chairman Bae Han-cheol: "The Damage Is Too Severe, It Breaks My Heart"

About 50 members of the Gyeongbuk Provincial Council, including members of the Culture and Environment Committee, the Education Committee, and staff from the Secretariat, visited flood damage recovery sites on the 24th to lend a helping hand.

They worked hard on recovery efforts such as removing soil in Beolbang-ri, Gamcheon-myeon, Yecheon, an area severely affected by heavy rain in the northern region of Gyeongbuk.

The Provincial Council’s flood damage recovery activities were decided at an emergency joint meeting of the chairpersons and standing committee heads on the 16th, where it was agreed that the Gyeongbuk Provincial Council would participate in supporting the prompt recovery of the northern Gyeongbuk heavy rain damage areas.

Gyeongbuk Provincial Assembly members and Secretariat staff are carrying out restoration work on farmland in Beolbang-ri, Gamcheon-myeon, Yecheon-gun, which has been severely damaged by flooding.

Additionally, the Provincial Council announced plans to continue support activities from the 25th in other areas within the province, such as Bonghwa and Yeongju, where recovery assistance is needed.

Council members and staff who participated in the Yecheon recovery work, including Chairman Bae Han-cheol, Operations Committee Chair Lee Chil-gu, Culture and Environment Committee Chair Kim Dae-il, and Education Committee Chair Yoon Seung-o, contributed to damage recovery efforts such as cleaning household items, soil removal, and waste disposal, hoping that the disaster victims can return to their daily lives as soon as possible.

Bae Han-cheol, Chairman of the Gyeongbuk Provincial Council, said, “It is heartbreaking to see the reality of our residents suffering from severe damage caused by the heavy rain. We will do our best to support the normalization of the affected areas as soon as possible together with 60 council members.”
