Naju-si Conducts Safety Training for River Drainage Gate Managers

Naju City in Jeollanam-do is conducting specialized operation and safety training for 95 drainage gate managers in the local rivers over a two-week period starting from the 8th.

According to the city on the 11th, river drainage gates are facilities that prevent backflow caused by rising water levels during heavy rainfall, thereby preventing flood damage.

This training is the second session following the one held in May, focusing on manual operation methods through field practice and action guidelines to prepare for emergency situations.

In particular, the city urged drainage gate managers to pay special attention to safety management when manually controlling the gates in case of server or mechanical failures in the smart drainage gate system, which allows automatic gate closing and opening.

Mayor Yoon Byung-tae stated, “We will ensure thorough safety measures for workers and enhance the disaster response capabilities of drainage gate managers who protect citizens' precious lives and property on the front lines of natural disaster prevention such as heavy rain and floods.”
