Have a Safe and Comfortable Chuseok... Gwangjin-gu's 2023 Comprehensive Chuseok Plan Prepared

From September 25 to October 4, Focused Measures in 8 Key Areas Implemented, Disaster Safety Situation Room and 5 Task Forces Also Operated

Gwangjin-gu (District Mayor Kim Kyung-ho) will implement the "2023 Chuseok Comprehensive Measures" for 10 days from September 25 to October 4 ahead of Chuseok, the nation's biggest traditional holiday.

The district plans to focus on eight key areas: ▲ Spending a Warm Chuseok ▲ Price Stability ▲ Traffic Measures ▲ Flood and Wind Disaster Preparedness ▲ Safety and Fire Prevention ▲ Medical and Health ▲ Household Waste Cleaning ▲ Establishment of Public Service Discipline.

During the holiday period, a total of 992 personnel will be assigned to the Chuseok situation duty team to maintain a 24-hour emergency response system. Five task forces, including the Disaster Safety Comprehensive Situation Room, Traffic Measures Team, Flood and Wind Disaster Measures Team, Park Measures Team, Cleaning Measures Team, and Medical Measures Team, will be organized to minimize inconvenience to residents.

First, to ensure a warm Chuseok without leaving any neighbors isolated, consolation money will be provided to welfare support recipients, and an emergency support task force will be formed to prepare for crisis situations. Vulnerable groups such as children at risk of food insecurity and elderly living alone will be checked on, and visits to facilities for the disabled will be made to deliver consolation goods.

Measures to stabilize prices during the Chuseok holiday have also been prepared. Through the operation of the Price Stabilization Comprehensive Situation Room, price monitoring, and issuance of Gwangjin Love Gift Certificates, the district aims to stabilize prices and reduce the economic burden on residents.

Traffic measures for outbound and inbound travelers have also been prepared. The number of bus operations at Dong Seoul Terminal will be increased, and traffic facilities such as bus stops, traffic lights, and traffic signs will be inspected to ensure safety. The operation of the Traffic Situation Room and reasonable parking enforcement will lead to smooth traffic flow.

In addition, to prepare for sudden heavy rains during the holiday period, a Flood and Wind Disaster Comprehensive Situation Room will be operated, and an on-site mobile team will be organized to maintain a 24-hour emergency contact system.

Inconveniences caused by waste and other issues will be minimized. Waste will not be collected from September 28 to 30, but normal collection will resume from October 1. Waste will be intensively collected before the holiday, and cleaning situation teams and mobile teams will be organized during the holiday period.

Furthermore, safety inspections of facilities such as multi-use facilities, parks, and disaster-vulnerable facilities will be conducted to prioritize residents' safety. Medical and health measures have also been prepared to ensure no medical gaps, including the operation of an emergency medical guidance situation room, maintenance of emergency medical systems, operation of screening clinics, and designation of holiday pharmacies to protect residents' health.

Kim Kyung-ho, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, "We have prepared comprehensive measures in each field so that residents can spend the Chuseok holiday safely and comfortably," and added, "I hope everyone has a joyful and abundant Hangawi with family and relatives during Chuseok, the nation's biggest traditional holiday."
