The relief donation will be made to the National Disaster Relief Association through the Community Chest of Korea, and will be used for recovery efforts in affected areas as well as for providing relief supplies to those displaced by the disaster.

In addition to the donation, Lotte affiliates will provide food and daily necessities to residents affected by the disaster. Lotte Distribution Group plans to deliver emergency relief supplies for 2,000 people?including beverages, cup noodles, and energy bars?to evacuation centers in Sancheong County, South Gyeongsang Province, and Yesan County, South Chungcheong Province, through the National Disaster Relief Association. Lotte Wellfood also plans to provide food supplies worth 300 million won through the Korean Red Cross.

Earlier this year, Lotte Group donated 1 billion won to support residents displaced by wildfires in North Gyeongsang Province, South Gyeongsang Province, and Ulsan. At that time, Lotte Distribution Group, Lotte Wellfood, and other affiliates also delivered emergency relief supplies consisting of bottled water, cup noodles, and other daily necessities.

A Lotte representative stated, "We extend our deepest sympathies to those affected by the heavy rainfall," and added, "We will actively support the rapid recovery so that everyone can return to their daily lives as soon as possible."
