On May 29 in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province and the Seoul Metropolitan Weather Administration held a 'Working-Level Consultative Meeting on Meteorological and Climate Change Response,' where they discussed cooperation measures such as establishing climate crisis adaptation strategies, implementing joint programs, and operating a direct disaster response hotline.

This consultative meeting was organized to ensure the safety of residents from increasingly frequent weather anomalies and to enable effective responses to crisis situations by sharing rapid and precise meteorological information.

The direct hotline, which was installed on May 22, is expected to greatly contribute to the safety of residents by enabling the immediate transmission of information and access to meteorological forecaster advice via a dedicated one-to-one line during emergencies such as sudden localized heavy rain, typhoons, and strong winds.

In addition, the two organizations are jointly carrying out various projects, including sharing data on meteorological disaster damages, jointly utilizing an emergency information display platform, addressing gaps in snowfall observation, and subdividing weather alerts by city and county.

Lee Jongdon, Director of Safety Management at Gyeonggi Province, stated, "Through this working-level consultative meeting, we will further strengthen our collaborative system with the Seoul Metropolitan Weather Administration and take the lead in creating climate crisis response models that residents can truly experience."
