Park Gang-su, Mayor of Mapo-gu, and Prime Minister Han Deok-su Inspect Flood-Prone Residential Areas on Site

Park Gang-su, Mayor of Mapo District, visited the Hapjeong-dong area on the morning of the 11th with Prime Minister Han Deok-soo to inspect flood-prone residential areas.

Before the full inspection, Mayor Park Gang-su of Mapo District took time to explain the transparent flood barriers installed in semi-basement houses.

The transparent flood barriers introduced by Mapo District last year are made of polycarbonate material, ensuring both safety and aesthetics, earning praise from both building owners and tenants.

Additionally, the installation cost is about 80,000 won lower than that of opaque flood barriers, resulting in significant budget savings.

With the number of households applying for transparent flood barriers this year increasing 2.4 times compared to last year, Mapo District plans to promptly proceed with installations and make every effort to prevent flood damage.

Following this, Mayor Park Gang-su of Mapo District and Prime Minister Han Deok-soo encouraged the accompanying partners and care officials who support vulnerable disaster victims such as severely disabled and child households who cannot evacuate on their own.

They then moved to the site where the transparent flood barrier and portable movable flood barrier projects are underway to inspect the installation work and urged thorough flood prevention measures.

Mayor Park Gang-su of Mapo District said, “With recent weather forecasts becoming unpredictable, Mapo District is focusing administrative efforts more than ever on preventive activities and post-management to protect residents from flood damage,” adding, “With the belief that ‘over-preparedness is better for safety,’ we will do our best to protect the lives and property of our residents.”
