In addition, discussions were held on ways to enhance mutual cooperation with related organizations in the event of a disaster situation.

Deputy Governor Park Saeeun stated, "Due to climate change caused by global warming, responding to natural disasters has become increasingly challenging. I ask that each department and related organization establish a close cooperative system by designating responsible officials for each at-risk village and do their utmost in advance preparations to minimize casualties."

Uljin County is making every effort in preemptive inspections and measures so that residents can live safely from disasters and calamities.

To prepare for flood damage caused by river overflow during the rainy season, dredging projects have been carried out throughout Uljin County, and thorough safety inspections are being conducted for disaster-vulnerable households, various workplaces, and tourist safety management.

Starting this year, the coverage of the residents' safety insurance has been expanded, allowing for benefits up to a maximum of 30 million KRW.
