Kim Dong-yeon Visits Heavy Snow Damage Area, Orders Six Measures Including Resolving Fiscal Bottlenecks

Gyeonggi Province Governor Kim Dong-yeon ordered that financial execution be carried out as quickly as possible after visiting the heavy snow damage recovery sites in Pyeongtaek and Anseong areas.

On the afternoon of the 2nd, Governor Kim held an emergency countermeasure meeting attended by Administrative Deputy Governor Kim Seong-jung, Administrative Deputy Governor Oh Hu-seok, and Economic Deputy Governor Go Young-in, and announced six damage recovery guidelines containing these details.

At the emergency countermeasure meeting, Governor Kim urged the "resolution of financial bottlenecks."

He emphasized, "Even if Gyeonggi Province executes finances for damage recovery, it takes time for the funds to reach the site, causing another obstacle to recovery," and added, "Measures must be prepared so that funds are used on-site as quickly as possible, such as pre-execution and post-settlement."

Governor Kim promised to actively consider special promotions and advancements for public officials who contribute to rapid financial execution.

He also ordered, "There are many cases where wind and flood insurance is not actually applied. Please carefully find practical solutions and support methods that can be implemented immediately."

Furthermore, he added, "If various funds are insufficient, actively consider allocating contingency funds if necessary, and mobilize private sector capabilities for damage recovery and support. We will discover private sector cases that contributed in the future and appropriately reward them."

Moreover, he emphasized, "In addition to Pyeongtaek, Anseong, and Yongin, which have requested designation as special disaster areas, we will consider additional designations of special disaster areas," and added, "As a long-term task, since this heavy snow is due to climate change, we will actively seek new disaster response measures caused by climate change."
