Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yu Seong-hoon) announced that it will provide cold wave prevention kits to 685 households in disaster-vulnerable groups to minimize cold wave damage caused by the sudden cold snap.

The support targets vulnerable groups such as elderly living alone, low-income households, and single-parent families, prioritizing residents in disaster-vulnerable groups who are struggling with the cold.

The cold wave prevention kit consists of a heating pack, neck warmer, earmuffs, knee blanket, and gloves to help spend the cold winter warmly and safely, and will be distributed through the local community centers.

In addition, the district plans to promote the "Cold Wave Preparedness Citizen Action Guidelines" by distributing promotional materials along with the cold wave prevention kits, which include winter health management, cold wave health precautions, and precautions when going outside.

Yu Seong-hoon, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, said, "I hope that the vulnerable groups can spend the winter a little warmer with this cold wave prevention kit support," and added, "We will carefully monitor the ongoing cold wave situation during winter to ensure that vulnerable groups can have a safe winter."

Meanwhile, the district has been supporting various cold protection items to prevent cold wave damage to disaster-vulnerable groups. In 2023, electric blankets were provided to 220 households, and in 2022, cold wave prevention kits were provided to 500 households.
