Naver is working to prevent the spread of flood damage through its services such as maps and weather. The company operates "Weather Report Talk," which allows users in neighboring areas to share weather conditions in real time, and "Report Map," which provides an overview of reports nationwide. On its disaster special page, Naver provides information such as satellite and radar images, weather alerts, and disaster text messages. Naver Map has also strengthened its functions for providing disaster and accident information, including flood warnings and dam discharge notices.

Previously, in March, Naver donated 1 billion KRW for wildfire recovery in the Gyeongsang and Ulsan regions, and in July 2023, it donated 500 million KRW for recovery from nationwide heavy rainfall damage.

Meanwhile, Happybean is conducting fundraising activities for flood recovery in cooperation with organizations such as the National Disaster Relief Association and the Community Chest of Korea. As of July 22, including Naver's donation, a total of more than 1.33 billion KRW has been raised through Happybean.
