The on-site inspection carried out on the 2nd was conducted to establish disaster response measures by carefully checking for any abnormalities in facilities and identifying risk factors during the monsoon season, as the risk of natural disasters is increasing due to sudden weather changes, in order to ensure the safety of the local community.

On this day, Governor Lee visited the underpass road beneath Goseonggyo on National Road No. 14 in the Daepyeong-ri area of Goseong-eup to check the operational status of the road flooding barrier facilities, which were installed in May.
