Nation's First Dedicated Flood and Wind Disaster Task Force Including District Office, Police, and Fire Station Formed; Group Chat Room Operated for Rapid Response System... Designated Special Police Stations for Quick Response in Landslide and Flood-Prone Areas... Thorough Preparedness During Flood and Wind Disaster Period Ensures Damage-Free Conclusion

Jungnang-gu (District Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) concluded the comprehensive summer flood and wind disaster countermeasure period, which had been underway since April 15, on the 15th of this month.

During the implementation of the comprehensive flood and wind disaster countermeasures, thorough prior preparations and meticulous situation management were carried out to prevent human and material damage caused by rainfall and typhoons, allowing the period to end safely without any damage this year as well.

As part of the comprehensive disaster countermeasures, the district formed a dedicated flood and wind disaster response team including personnel from the district office, police, and fire station, and operated an emergency response group chat to establish a rapid disaster response system. The emergency response group chat shared information such as weather conditions, disaster alert levels, disaster recovery and necessary measures, evacuation orders, and designation of danger zones, enabling the three institutions to respond quickly in case of emergencies.

Additionally, to strengthen close cooperation, joint inspections were conducted with Jungnang Police Station, and special training and explanations about flood control facilities were provided to help understand the operation of these facilities.

Furthermore, in consultation with related departments, 13 landslide-prone areas and 13 flood and wind disaster vulnerable areas with a high risk of casualties during heavy rain were selected, and dedicated police substations were designated to establish a rapid response system.

Moreover, efforts were made to minimize flood and wind disaster damage by establishing a preemptive response system, operating river warning and alert facilities, and expanding flood safety facilities such as additional CCTV installations.

Thorough safety management inspections of flood control facilities were also conducted, and to prevent flooding accidents in semi-basement houses, on-site inspections were carried out at semi-basement houses and disaster-vulnerable households within the district.

Ryu Kyung-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, stated, “We have devoted all efforts to safely protecting the lives and property of residents through thorough summer preparations and the establishment of a close cooperation system, and we will continue to do our best to protect residents safely by strengthening cooperative systems in the future.”
