Heavy Rain Causes Damage to Over 30 Public and Private Facilities; Over 100 Residents Evacuated to Temporary Shelters

Governor Kim Tae-heum emphasized the need to carry out emergency restoration efforts in the Chungnam region, which suffered significant damage due to heavy rainfall.

On the 19th, Governor Kim held a meeting to review the progress of emergency restoration for flood damage, attended by the heads of provincial departments and the mayors and county governors of 15 cities and counties.

From the 16th to the 18th, Chungnam experienced an average of 119.4mm of rainfall, resulting in over 30 cases of property damage to both private and public facilities.

In particular, Dangjin saw more than 170mm of torrential rain in a single day on the 18th, causing flooding in various parts of the city, including the traditional market.

Fortunately, there were no casualties, but currently, about 100 people are staying in temporary shelters.

In response, Governor Kim called for swift emergency restoration and thorough investigation of property damage.

Governor Kim stated, "Large-scale damage has occurred during the rainy season again this year, following last year. Thanks to the dedication of many people, emergency restoration is progressing smoothly, but since it is not yet complete, mobilize all available resources and capabilities to carry out the restoration."

He added, "Mayors and county governors should provide support to residents staying in temporary shelters due to flooded or damaged homes to ensure they are not inconvenienced. With another rain forecast for this weekend, please continue to respond actively until the end of the rainy season."
