Vice Minister Park urged special caution to prevent damage from the ongoing heavy monsoon rains.


The construction site of Cheongju Nami Post Office experienced a collapse of the fence of the nearby post office due to the collapse of the Nonghyup fence located above, which gave way under earth pressure caused by the heavy rain on the 14th. Currently, emergency repairs have been completed by repairing the damaged section and installing supports. No damage has been reported at other construction sites.

The Postal Business Headquarters of the Ministry of Science and ICT, which manages the facility, has been operating an emergency comprehensive situation room since the 14th to prevent additional flood damage. Through the situation room, real-time monitoring of heavy rain conditions, communication to affiliated organizations, and guidance on disaster response measures are being conducted.



Vice Minister Park stated, “Due to the large accumulated rainfall, the ground has weakened, so not only the construction site but also the operating post offices may suffer damage. Please strengthen regular inspections to block all possible causes of accidents such as retaining wall or embankment collapse, electrical leakage, water leakage, and falling fixed objects, and especially do your best to prevent any casualties.”
