Gyeongbuk Provincial Council Secretariat Staff, Volunteering on Holidays to Help Flood Recovery in Yeongju Amid Heatwave

Employees of the Gyeongbuk Provincial Council Secretariat gave up their holiday during the heatwave and chose to sweat it out instead of seeking relief from the heat.

On the 6th, the staff carried out recovery work in Sunheung-myeon, Yeongju City, which suffered significant damage due to heavy rain concentrated in the northern region of Gyeongbuk.

On that day, Kim Jong-su, head of the Secretariat, along with senior officials of the Council Secretariat, exerted all their efforts in flood recovery work at the site, including removing soil from flooded houses and cleaning up the surrounding environment, despite the heatwave approaching 35 degrees Celsius.
