Public buildings such as government offices serve as forward bases for quick response in the event of natural disasters and as communication channels with citizens for disaster recovery. The city plans to conduct comprehensive inspections of the safety of these facilities and the availability of flood prevention materials to ensure preparedness for various disasters.

Prior to the inspections, the city conducted a status check on the installation of flood prevention devices (such as flood barriers) at 145 public buildings, including government offices. Among the 37 locations identified as needing flood prevention devices, flood barriers were installed at three sites, including the Jungang-dong Administrative Welfare Center in Seongsan-gu, as part of a pilot project. A demonstration was held with participation from staff and the voluntary disaster prevention team to familiarize them with the installation methods.

Changwon Special City Mayor Hong Nam-pyo stated, "Through this comprehensive inspection, we will ensure thorough and systematic management of public buildings, including government offices, so that we can provide prompt response and recovery support to citizens in the event of natural disasters."
