Ulsan to Quadruple 'Disaster Prevention Project Funds' Next Year... Secures 3 New Projects
824 Billion Won for Disaster Prevention Measures in Seosaeng, Mudong, and Jeomgol Districts
Ulsan's disaster prevention project budget for next year has significantly increased.
On the 15th, Ulsan City announced that it secured a total project budget of 82.4 billion KRW by being selected for three new projects by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety related to next year's disaster prevention projects.
The selected projects are ▲ Seosaeng Flood and Wind Disaster Living Zone Comprehensive Maintenance Project (total project cost 42 billion KRW, national subsidy 21 billion KRW) ▲ Mudong Disaster Risk Improvement Project (total project cost 21 billion KRW, national subsidy 10.5 billion KRW) ▲ Jeomgol Rainwater Runoff Reduction Facility Installation Project (total project cost 19.4 billion KRW, national subsidy 9.7 billion KRW).
This amount is more than four times the average annual disaster prevention project budget of 20.6 billion KRW over the past five years in Ulsan City.
Earlier, Ulsan City applied to the Ministry of the Interior and Safety in March this year for the Seosaeng and Mudong districts as '2024 New Disaster Prevention Projects' and for the Jeomgol district as the '2024 Rainwater Runoff Reduction Facility Installation Project.'
Among these, the Seosaeng district is an area that has been flooded six times in the past ten years due to river overflow during heavy rains, and the Mudong district frequently experiences flooding due to poor drainage caused by the rising water level of the Taehwa River, causing not only property damage to residents but also many inconveniences such as risks to daily safety.
The project implementation will be led by Ulju-gun, which plans to start basic and detailed design services in 2024 and complete maintenance of the Seosaeng district by 2028, and the Mudong and Jeomgol districts by 2027.
