As strong winds caused various damages across the country, Gangseo-gu, Seoul (Mayor Jin Gyo-hoon) is fully committed to restoring wind damage and preventing disasters.

On the 7th at 10 a.m., the district held an "Emergency Disaster Safety Countermeasure Meeting" in the main conference room, chaired by Mayor Jin Gyo-hoon, with all directors and department heads in attendance.

Regarding the roof panel falling accident caused by the strong winds on the 6th, Mayor Jin urged, "All departments, including those related to safety, should utilize all available resources to help the residents affected by this strong wind return to their daily lives as soon as possible."

At 3:26 p.m. on the 6th, in Hwagok-dong, a part of the roof panel of a multi-family house fell due to strong winds, covering eight vehicles.
