This inspection involved Deputy Mayor Kim Jungmin, the Director of Safety and Construction, the Head of the Natural Disaster Team, and other relevant department officials, who closely examined flood risk factors in key areas within the city that were affected by the 2024 heavy rain.

Deputy Mayor Kim Jungmin emphasized, "As unpredictable weather anomalies are increasing the number of flooded areas, we must quickly implement practical solutions for areas with frequent flooding by organically collaborating on water management tasks that are currently dispersed across departments."

He also stated, "In zones where flooding occurs repeatedly, comprehensive maintenance that covers entire villages, rather than just individual facilities, is necessary," and urged, "We need to shift the paradigm for solving flooding issues through village-level public projects that involve resident participation."
