On that day, as the coldest weather of this winter continued, Mayor Hong visited senior centers mainly used by vulnerable groups such as the elderly to check the heating conditions and see if there were any inconveniences in daily life, urging them to pay attention to health and fire prevention safety during the cold wave.

He then visited Changwon City Welfare Center, a homeless welfare facility designated as an emergency cold wave shelter, to check the operation status and cold wave measures for the homeless.

The emergency cold wave shelter operates 24 hours to compensate for the limitations of cold wave shelters that do not operate at night, on weekends, and holidays when a cold wave advisory is in effect, to safely protect the homeless, elderly living alone, and housing-vulnerable citizens from the cold wave.

Hong Nampyo, Mayor of Changwon Special City, said, “We will thoroughly inspect various facilities and prevent safety accidents amid the ongoing cold wave, and especially pay more careful attention and support so that the elderly and vulnerable groups can spend the winter safely and warmly.”
