The main inspection items include ▲whether there are risks such as building cracks, damage, or leaks ▲whether electrical facilities such as circuit breakers are functioning properly ▲and the safety management status of evacuation and fire prevention facilities such as securing emergency exits.


The county plans to take corrective action on minor risks on-site based on the inspection results, and for facilities where immediate correction is difficult, separate repairs and reinforcements will be arranged.


In addition, if it is difficult to take measures before the Lunar New Year holiday, emergency measures will be taken and follow-up management will be conducted until the risks are resolved.


County Governor Shim Deok-seop said, “For the safety of the residents, we will prioritize preemptive safety accident prevention inspections and continuously manage until the risks are eliminated so that homecoming and returning visitors can have a safe Lunar New Year holiday.”
