This area is highly susceptible to flooding during heavy rainfall due to the influence of the tidal level in Sacheon Bay. During the inspection, the team thoroughly reviewed the disaster response system for each stage and the overall state of on-site management.

Minor issues identified during the inspection were immediately corrected on-site, and Mayor Park ordered prompt action to address any additional safety threats. In particular, given the increasing importance of safety management at construction sites, he also carefully examined the maintenance and management status that will follow facility completion.

The “Cheongneol District Stormwater Retention Facility Installation Project” was launched to prevent disasters in the Daebang-dong area, which is prone to frequent flooding. Construction began in September 2023 and was completed in April 2026.

Mayor Park stated, “With abnormal climate patterns, the frequency of heavy rainfall and typhoons is increasing. Only thorough advance preparation can minimize damage, so we will do our utmost to strengthen advance controls in high-risk areas and improve resident evacuation procedures to ensure that not a single human casualty occurs this summer.”
