Deputy Governor Jeong Gwang-seon Hosts Inspection Meeting

Discussion on Departmental Preparations and Response Plans

Damyang-gun, Jeollanam-do, is taking full-scale measures to prepare for summer disasters.

Damyang-gun (Governor Lee Byeong-no) announced on the 5th that it recently held a summer natural disaster preparedness inspection meeting at the Songgangjeongsil in the county office, presided over by Deputy Governor Jeong Gwang-seon.

The meeting was attended by senior officials, including heads of 15 collaborative departments of the Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters, who reported on each department's preparation status for summer typhoons and floods and discussed rapid and effective response plans in case of incidents.

Accordingly, during the natural disaster countermeasure period (May 15 to October 15), the county plans to strengthen the emergency system, monitor weather conditions in real time, take preemptive evacuation measures for residents in risk areas when weather warnings are issued, and actively promote awareness through disaster text messages and village broadcasts to minimize damage.

In addition, the county will focus on inspecting disaster-prone areas such as steep slopes, retaining walls, cut slopes, hazardous buildings, and landslide-prone zones, and maintain drainage facilities to prevent flood damage.

A county official stated, “When weather warnings are issued, we will take preemptive evacuation measures for residents in areas at risk of landslides and flooding, conduct prior inspections of disaster-prone areas, and thoroughly prepare during the rainy season to ensure that not a single life is lost.”
