The Gwangju City Government has launched an integrated support initiative for heavy rain victims in collaboration with central government agencies, including the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the Ministry of Environment, the Ministry of Education, the National Tax Service, and financial institutions.

Gwangju City established the "Heavy Rain Victims Integrated Support Center" in the Happiness Conference Room on the first floor of City Hall, and officially began its operation on the 23rd. The "Heavy Rain Victims Integrated Support Center" serves as a one-stop support desk, allowing citizens affected by the torrential rains in the Gwangju and Jeonnam regions to conveniently resolve various civil affairs and consultation needs without inconvenience.

At the center, officials from relevant central government agencies and related organizations, including the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the Ministry of Environment, the Ministry of Education, the National Tax Service, and financial institutions, are stationed to provide integrated consultation services for civil affairs.

Affected citizens can receive a range of recovery services at the support center, including: ▲relief for displaced residents ▲medical and psychological support ▲volunteer coordination ▲resolution of communication, electricity, and gas supply disruptions ▲waste disposal ▲consultation on recovery fund loans and loan deferments ▲insurance claim procedures, and other necessary services for recovery.

The center will operate daily from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. until recovery efforts are completed. Citizens can confirm the person in charge through the Gwangju City website or the 120 call center, and then visit the center or receive consultation by phone.

On this day, Mayor Kang Gijeong visited the center to inspect the site and encourage the staff responsible for consultations and civil affairs. Mayor Kang stated, "Thanks to the Heavy Rain Victims Integrated Support Center, citizens affected by the disaster can now receive the help they need in one place," and added, "I ask for careful consideration and support, such as disaster recovery and livelihood stabilization assistance, so that citizens can quickly return to their normal daily lives."
