Hanam City is operating a 24-hour emergency response system centered on City Hall to prepare for various disasters and safety accidents that may occur during the holiday period. In particular, through the "Comprehensive Countermeasures Situation Room," which consists of eight teams and 108 personnel, including the General Coordination Team, Safety Countermeasures Team and Traffic Countermeasures Team, the city is thoroughly carrying out tasks closely related to citizens' daily lives, ranging from disaster management and household waste disposal to emergency medical support.


Mayor Lee first visited the city hall duty office, where he checked how the situation room was being operated and encouraged the staff on duty. At the site, he said, "Thanks to your hard work in staying at your posts even during the holidays, citizens are able to enjoy a peaceful break," and added, "Please do not let your guard down until the very end of the holiday, and make every effort to respond swiftly and accurately in the event of any unexpected situation."


He then visited the Sinjang 119 Safety Center to check the emergency dispatch system and express his gratitude to the firefighters. Mayor Lee stressed, "Your role in protecting the lives and property of citizens in critical situations is more important than anything else," urging them to focus on further strengthening on-site response capabilities. His visits continued to police stations on the front line of public security. After checking the state of public order during the holidays at the Changwoo Police Box and the 112 Situation Room of the Hanam Police Station, Mayor Lee went on to visit the Hanam Police Precinct and Deokpung Police Precinct, where he closely examined the status of local safety management.


His on-site communication activities were then expanded across the entire jurisdiction. He successively visited the 119 Rescue Unit, the Deokpung 119 Safety Center, the Misa Riverside and Misa Police Precincts, and the Misa 119 Safety Center to inspect preparedness for emergency dispatch. Finally, at the Seobu Police Box, the Gamail 119 Safety Center and the Wirye Police Box, Mayor Lee conveyed his heartfelt thanks, saying, "Because each of you is faithfully fulfilling your responsibilities in your respective positions, Hanam City is being operated in a much safer manner."


Earlier, on the morning of the 16th, one day before Lunar New Year's Day, Mayor Lee visited frontline public service workers, offering words of encouragement. The visits were arranged to express gratitude to those who cannot rest even during the holiday period and who are faithfully performing their duties for citizens' everyday lives and safety.


At 5:40 a.m., before dawn had fully broken, Mayor Lee began his first schedule by visiting the municipal solid waste transfer station to meet with environmental public service workers. He held the hands of employees who were silently working up a sweat to keep the streets clean despite the bitter sub-zero cold, and expressed his appreciation. During the holiday period, the city plans to collect household waste as usual except on Lunar New Year's Day itself, and to operate a mobile response team until the final day to maintain a pleasant urban environment.


Later in the morning, he visited the Changwoo-dong BRT transfer center, the CCTV control room and the Water Supply Division in succession, thoroughly inspecting the city's safety network. Asking transportation workers devoted to transporting holiday travelers to drive safely, Mayor Lee said, "Your dedication out of the public eye is a strong pillar supporting citizens' daily lives," expressing deep trust in the efforts of those on duty.


He also made sure not to leave out inspections of welfare and medical sites where a warm touch is especially needed. At Yeongnak Senior Center, Mayor Lee checked in on the well-being of the elderly, and then visited medical institutions and pharmacies maintaining emergency treatment systems to express gratitude to the medical staff and pharmacists who were devoting themselves to patient care despite giving up their holidays. In childcare and transportation, he visited public daycare centers and key stations on Subway Line 5 to acknowledge the hard work of staff and to check the status of transport management.



After completing his field visits, Mayor Lee said, "I would like to express my gratitude to all workers who are dedicating themselves to citizens' safety and everyday convenience during the Lunar New Year holiday," adding, "Going forward, we will continue to put citizens' happiness and safety first through field-oriented administration."
