Mokpo City Mobilizes All Efforts for Snow Removal to Ensure Citizen Safety

Snow Removal Vehicles Intensively Deployed on Main Roads and Slopes
All City Employees Mobilized to Clear Snow at Bus Stops and Crosswalks

Mokpo City, Jeonnam (Mayor Park Hongryul), is making every effort to clear snow for citizen safety as more than 10.5cm of snow fell on the 4th, following the issuance of a heavy snow warning.

According to the city, the snow that began falling the previous day, combined with severe cold of below minus 4 degrees Celsius, has made it difficult for the snow on the roads to melt. In response, from the night of the 3rd through the 4th, six snow removal vehicles have been deployed to intensively clear major arterial roads and slopes, while ten small snow removal machines are being used on side streets where larger vehicles cannot enter.

Additionally, to minimize inconvenience to citizens caused by the heavy snowfall, all city employees were urgently mobilized from 6:30 a.m. and assigned to their respective areas to carry out snow removal on sidewalks, bus stops, crosswalks, and other key locations.

The city responds to snowfall of less than 1 to 5 cm through the road snow removal team, and when snowfall exceeds 5 cm and a heavy snow advisory or warning is issued, all employees are mobilized to conduct manual snow removal operations.

Mayor Park Hongryul stated, "As snow is forecasted to continue until the night of the 5th, we will maintain our road snow removal readiness," and added, "To prevent slip-and-fall accidents on icy roads, please refrain from unnecessary outings and take measures to insulate water and boiler pipes to prevent freezing."

He also requested, "We ask all citizens to actively participate in clearing snow in front of their homes and shops."
