Songpa-gu (District Mayor Seo Gang-seok) will implement the "Chuseok Comprehensive Measures" for ten days from September 25 to October 4 to support residents in having a comfortable and safe Chuseok holiday.

With October 2, the day before National Foundation Day, designated as a temporary holiday, a six-day golden holiday has been confirmed. Accordingly, the district announced that a total of 292 personnel will be deployed to the main and night comprehensive situation rooms at the district office and functional task forces from September 27 to October 4, the main holiday period, to prepare for any emergency situations.

In particular, the district plans to focus on implementing the Chuseok comprehensive measures consisting of 21 projects in six major areas to minimize administrative gaps during the long holiday. These include ▲strengthening resident safety ▲resolving daily inconveniences ▲supporting transportation use ▲supporting marginalized neighbors ▲stabilizing holiday prices ▲establishing public service discipline.

Specifically, ▲prioritizing resident safety, the district will operate a 24-hour disaster safety situation room and enter an emergency duty system to respond promptly to various weather conditions such as typhoons, safety accidents, and disasters. Pre-inspections of disaster-vulnerable facilities such as various road facilities and construction sites will be conducted, and on-site patrols will be strengthened.

▲Measures for resolving residents' daily inconveniences such as cleaning and traffic have also been prepared. To avoid inconvenience in waste disposal during the holiday period, disposal methods will be promoted in advance, and a mobile team will operate to clean vulnerable areas such as Tancheon embankment road and bridges thoroughly.

Additionally, during the holiday period, guidance and enforcement against illegally parked vehicles will be conducted to reduce traffic inconvenience. Nine public parking lots, including Traffic Park Road and Saemaeul Market, and 17 public institution-affiliated parking lots will be opened free of charge to enhance parking convenience.

During the long holiday, ▲neighbors who may feel isolated will also be carefully cared for. A patrol counseling team for the homeless will operate during the holiday, providing free meals and travel expenses for returning home. Gifts will be delivered to 172 senior welfare facilities such as senior centers in the district to share warm hearts so that the elderly do not feel lonely during the holiday.

Moreover, this holiday, a special "Health Center Emergency Medical Team" will operate on Chuseok day (September 29) to support residents in receiving medical treatment from doctors at the health center in case of emergencies, ensuring a safe holiday without medical gaps by carefully managing residents' health.

Seo Gang-seok, Mayor of Songpa-gu, stated, "We will mobilize all district capabilities to minimize administrative gaps from disaster safety response to medical support," and added, "We will strive to smoothly implement the Chuseok comprehensive measures so that everyone can spend the extended Chuseok holiday safely and comfortably."
