More than 300 people participated in these efforts, including Seo District Office staff led by Kim Ikang, Seo District Council members, the Autonomous Disaster Prevention Corps, the local Lions Club, and the Park Golf Association. They conducted practical recovery work, including maintenance of residential and alleyway drainage, moving water-damaged appliances and household goods, and collecting trash and removing sediment.

Seo District also urgently deployed the "Warmth Sharing Laundry Vehicle" to the flood recovery sites. This vehicle was provided to support residents who are unable to do laundry due to flooded homes, and will offer on-site laundry services for large items such as blankets in flood-affected areas until the 31st.

Kim Ikang, head of the district office, stated, "We are strengthening on-site support to provide practical help to residents facing difficulties due to the sudden flood damage," and added, "We will continue various recovery activities to minimize inconvenience for residents."
