Seongju County Installs Air Conditioners in Homes Without Cooling Systems... Distributes Bottled Water and Rice to Prevent Heat-Related Illnesses

The Seongju County Department of Resident Welfare announced on August 26 that, throughout the month of August, it visited 77 households in welfare blind spots suffering from tropical nights, delivering bottled water and rice to help prevent heat-related illnesses during the summer. In addition, three households with poor living conditions due to the lack of air conditioning were selected to receive wall-mounted air conditioners.

This initiative targets single-person households at risk of dying alone. Integrated case managers and happiness planners visit each home to assess the situation and provide customized services tailored to each individual's needs.

This year, due to the ongoing heatwave and the resulting increase in heat-related illnesses, the provision of wall-mounted air conditioners to households without proper cooling equipment has been carried out as part of the "Lonely Death Prevention Management Project."

Additionally, the "Well-being Check Mail Service" is conducted twice a month to prevent lonely deaths among single-person households, with local mail carriers focusing on monitoring households that display warning signs.

For 25 single-person households struggling to prepare meals, members of the township and village Community Welfare Council deliver side dishes once a week.
