During the ceremony, 104 individuals received the County Governor's Award, 9 organizations and groups were presented with plaques of appreciation, and 10 individuals were honored with the County Council Chairman's Award. These recipients were recognized for their significant contributions to rapid recovery efforts and restoration of daily life for residents, taking the lead in flood damage recovery and support for those affected.

On July 20, 2025, Gapyeong County suffered damages exceeding 115.3 billion won due to record-breaking torrential rain, an event rarely seen in the region's history. The county has since completed emergency restoration across all affected areas and is now in the process of designing permanent restoration and improvement projects to establish a safe living environment for residents.

Seo Taewon, the County Governor, stated, "I would like to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who devoted themselves to flood recovery for the safety of our community. Today's awards not only honor each and every one of your achievements, but also symbolize how our community has overcome adversity together."
