Dongdaemun-gu Supports Flood Recovery in Sister City Cheongyang-gun, Chungnam

Over 60 Volunteers Sweat It Out to Help Flood-Affected Farms Return to Daily Life in Cheongnam-myeon, Cheongyang-gun, Chungnam

Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor Lee Pil-hyung) visited its sister city, Cheongyang-gun in Chungnam, on the 7th to carry out volunteer flood recovery activities following consecutive heavy rains. This effort was made to assist Cheongyang-gun, which was declared a special disaster area after suffering severe casualties and facility damage due to the heavy rains in July.

Following an emergency support of goods worth approximately 1.7 million KRW, including bottled water and cup noodles, delivered to Jeongsan-myeon, Cheongyang-gun on the 21st of last month, this time they joined hands to help flood-affected farms return to their daily routines.

About 60 volunteers participated in this activity, including Dongdaemun-gu Mayor Lee Pil-hyung, Dongdaemun-gu employees, district council members, members of the Dongdaemun-gu branch of the Korean Veterans Association, and employees of the Dongdaemun-gu Facilities Management Corporation.

The volunteers visited farms around Cheongnam-myeon, Cheongyang-gun, focusing on recovery efforts such as disposing of plastic greenhouse waste and removing soil deposits. Despite the heatwave reaching 34℃, they dedicated themselves to the recovery work, wishing for the local residents to return to their daily lives soon.

Mayor Lee Pil-hyung of Dongdaemun-gu, who participated in the volunteer work, said, “I hope the helping hands from our district can be of some assistance in the flood recovery,” and added, “I sincerely wish that the residents of the flood-affected areas, including Cheongyang-gun, can regain their normal lives as soon as possible.”
