Currently, the 18 branches of the Jeonnam Headquarters have completed emergency inspections of facilities and most emergency repairs, focusing on recovery efforts for flood damage of various scales in each region.

Following support for the restoration work of farms damaged by sediment in Jinwon-myeon, Jangseong-gun the previous day, they carried out activities to remove floating debris and trash pushed into the waterways near the Gunnam Drainage Pumping Station in Yeonggwang-gun to ensure smooth water drainage.

Head Jo Young-ho said, “Personnel capable of technical support are providing technical assistance for flood damage recovery, while non-technical personnel are divided into support teams to help remove debris from farms and waterways. We are conducting recovery work accordingly. By simultaneously focusing on the rehabilitation of damaged farms and facility maintenance, we will spare no effort to support the swift return to normalcy for affected farms.”
