Gyeonggi Province Provides 3 Billion Won for Flood Damage Restoration to Eight Cities and Counties Including Gapyeong County

Gyeonggi Province will urgently provide 3 billion won from the provincial disaster management fund as rapid emergency restoration expenses to eight cities and counties, including Gapyeong County and Pocheon City, which suffered damage from heavy rainfall.

This emergency support is a follow-up measure to Governor Kim Dongyeon's directive on July 22, when he visited the flood-damaged area in Gapyeong County and instructed officials to carry out emergency restoration using the provincial disaster management fund for swift recovery.

After urgently inspecting the damage caused by the heavy rainfall, Gyeonggi Province decided to provide 1.5 billion won to Gapyeong County, which suffered the most damage, and 800 million won to Pocheon City. The remaining six cities and counties?Uijeongbu, Hwaseong, Namyangju, Yeoncheon, Yeoju, and Icheon?will receive between 200 million and 100 million won each, depending on the scale of the damage.

This disaster management fund will be used for emergency restoration, including the removal of debris from roads and rivers damaged by the heavy rainfall, temporary reinforcement, and safety measures.

Additionally, Gyeonggi Province decided to provide 20 portable air conditioners and 12,000 bottles of ice water to the Daebori Fire Command Post (CP) and the Jojong-myeon Administrative Welfare Center, among others, to support firefighters, police officers, volunteers, and military units working on the front lines of flood damage during the ongoing heat wave advisory.

Governor Kim Dongyeon said, "The most important thing is for the daily lives of those affected by the heavy rainfall to be restored as quickly as possible," and urged, "Please make sure that emergency restoration is completed promptly so that inconvenience to residents is minimized."

Meanwhile, Gyeonggi Province tentatively tallied 696 cases of facility damage?including roads, bridges, rivers, farmland, and livestock sheds?and over 1,850 displaced residents due to heavy rainfall from July 16 to July 20. Gapyeong County, which suffered the most severe damage, has been declared a special disaster area.
