Yongin City to Operate Comprehensive Situation Room During Chuseok Holiday

12 Sectors Including Disaster and Public Health

Yongin City in Gyeonggi Province announced on September 29 that it has established and is implementing a "Comprehensive Plan for the Chuseok Holiday" to ensure that citizens and visitors returning home can enjoy a safe and comfortable Chuseok holiday.

From October 3, when the holiday begins, to October 9, the city will assign 288 public officials to 12 situation teams across different sectors for seven days to respond promptly to any incidents that may arise during the holiday period.

During this period, the city will operate a disaster response team 24 hours a day to strengthen disaster and safety management systems, and will inspect the safety management status of disaster-prone facilities such as traditional markets and multi-use facilities.

The public health and medical team will operate an emergency quarantine system, including continuous monitoring of infectious diseases during the holiday, and will post information on hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies that will remain open during the holiday on the city's website to minimize medical service gaps.

A transportation response team has also been organized to monitor major roads in the region during periods of heavy travel for those returning home and visiting family, and has prepared special transportation measures to strengthen traffic safety management. The water supply response team has prepared recovery measures in case of water leaks or outages to minimize inconvenience related to tap water, and two companies have secured water tankers to provide emergency water supply in case of emergencies.

The sanitation response team will operate as usual for the collection of household waste on October 3, 4, 7, and 8 during the holiday period. However, on October 7, recyclable materials from residential areas will not be collected. No household waste will be collected on October 5, 6, and 9.

The advertising response team has established a system to address illegal advertisements and will remove them, while the environmental monitoring team has formed a special patrol unit to monitor local rivers and emission businesses before and after the holiday, strengthening oversight of businesses that discharge environmental pollutants.

The fuel response team will identify LPG filling stations and other facilities during the holiday to ensure a stable energy supply, and the price monitoring team will check the quality and price stability of 21 key holiday items until October 9.

During the holiday, civil complaints will be received through the Yongin City Civil Complaint Call Center (1577-1122), which will operate from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Complaints received outside these hours will be handled by a voicebot or the city hall duty office.

Mayor Lee Sangil stated, "During the Chuseok holiday, we will operate an emergency response system without any setbacks so that citizens and visitors returning home can enjoy a comfortable holiday without inconvenience, especially in terms of transportation."
