The Samsan Gurim Natural Disaster Risk Improvement District Maintenance Project in Haenam-gun, Jeollanam-do, has been selected as a disaster prevention project by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety for 2024.

According to the county on the 5th, a total project cost of 20 billion KRW will be invested in this project, which involves maintaining Sinrichon and Hwannae 2cheon, small streams in Samsan-myeon that are flood-prone areas, and installing a retention basin and pump station at the confluence of Samsancheon.

The river in the Chung-ri area of Samsan-myeon, classified as a flood risk grade A district, is a place where habitual flooding damage occurs to residential areas and farmland due to river overflow during floods. Through this project, it is expected to achieve natural disaster prevention effects for 95 hectares of farmland, 78 households and residents, and 54 buildings.

The project will implement small stream embankment maintenance over a total length of 5.1 km, reconstruct 9 bridges, reconstruct 7 weirs and drop structures, maintain 18 drainage facilities, and newly install pump stations and drainage channels. Basic and detailed designs will commence next year, with construction scheduled to start in 2025.

Haenam-gun is actively promoting annual disaster prevention projects to protect the safety and property rights of its residents, achieving remarkable results such as securing a total project cost of 112.5 billion KRW for disaster prevention projects.

Natural disaster risk improvement district maintenance projects are underway in Bukil Unjeon (total project cost 9.9 billion KRW), Haenam Bokpyeong (total project cost 15 billion KRW), and Hyeonsan Gohyeon district (total project cost 22 billion KRW), while a comprehensive flood damage living zone maintenance project (total project cost 45.6 billion KRW) is being promoted in the Hwasan district.

Additionally, following the reestablishment of the comprehensive natural disaster mitigation plan and the preparation of disaster maps, the Haewol Valley, Samsan Gurim, and Hwawon Wolho districts were designated as natural disaster risk improvement districts in the first half of this year. In the second half, the Munnae Yerak district will be additionally designated, with all efforts focused on securing national funding.

County Governor Myeong Hyun-gwan stated, “We are making every effort to secure national funding through continuous field inspections, designation of disaster improvement districts in vulnerable areas, and applications for new projects. Since this project is aimed at preventing damage to the lives and property of residents, we will work even harder to select additional projects, including responding to budget increases during the National Assembly review period.”
