On the 28th, Lee Jae-jun, Mayor of Suwon, chaired an emergency meeting on heavy snowfall and urged, "Please deploy all available equipment and personnel to fully concentrate on snow removal work today (28th)."

Mayor Lee Jae-jun stated, "Temperatures will drop below freezing from the night of the 28th, and if snow removal on alleys and side streets is not completed today, the roads will become icy and difficult to pass for several days. Mobilize all public officials and cooperate with residents such as tongjang to focus snow removal efforts this afternoon on alleys frequently used by citizens."
