Gyeonggi-do to Support Disaster Recovery Assistance for Military Personnel from the 16th... Enrolls in Injury Insurance

Gyeonggi Provincial Government

Gyeonggi Province will launch a support project for military personnel involved in disaster recovery starting from the 16th.

On the 14th, Gyeonggi Province announced that the "Gyeonggi Province Ordinance on the Safety and Support of Military Personnel Supporting Disaster Recovery," aimed at ensuring the safety of military personnel deployed to disaster sites, was approved by the Gyeonggi Provincial Council on the 26th of last month and has been promulgated and enforced from that day.

Prior to this, Gyeonggi Province discussed follow-up measures related to the ordinance with the 31 cities and counties within the province. The meeting was held as a video conference hosted by the Military Cooperation Officer, attended by department heads responsible for city and county affairs and military cooperation specialists.

Based on this ordinance, Gyeonggi Province will actively promote the enrollment support for accident insurance for military personnel supporting disaster recovery, separately from the existing "Military Service Gyeonggi Youth Accident Insurance Support Project."

In particular, to support accident insurance during the rainy season, the province plans to complete contract procedures in May and June to provide accident insurance for military personnel deployed to disaster recovery sites.

Gyeonggi Province explained that it is focusing on strengthening the cooperative system with cities and counties to ensure the prompt and smooth enrollment support for accident insurance for military personnel supporting disaster recovery, a case not seen nationwide.

Additionally, to enhance the execution of safety assurance and support policies for military personnel deployed to disaster sites within the province, the province is working with the 31 cities and counties to enact the same ordinance.

Hong Won-pyo, Military Cooperation Officer of Gyeonggi Province, stated, "As this is the first ordinance of its kind enacted and enforced nationwide, we will promptly carry out administrative procedures to ensure that accident insurance for military personnel deployed to disaster sites can begin before the rainy season."
