Chungnam Province announced on the 13th that it has delivered consolation goods to disaster victims who are unable to return home for the Chuseok holiday.
From last year to this year, heavy rains and wildfires in Chungnam have resulted in more than 1,900 disaster victims.
While most of the victims have returned to their homes, 36 households are still living in temporary prefabricated houses or with relatives.
To comfort these victims, the province has been delivering local agricultural and specialty products since the 10th. In particular, in Geumsan County, which suffered the most damage, Shin Dongheon, Director General of the Provincial Autonomy and Safety Office, visited in person to deliver consolation goods and inspect shelters again.
Director Shin stated, "We will thoroughly manage village shelters and other facilities to prevent further damage," and added, "We will do our best to help the victims recover from the pain of disaster and return to their daily lives as soon as possible."
