Preventing Loss of Life and Property
Seo-gu, Gwangju (Mayor Kim Ikang) conducted on-site safety inspections of disaster-prone areas in preparation for natural disasters during the summer.
According to Seo-gu on the 19th, the inspections were carried out to prevent loss of life and property damage from heavy rainfall and typhoons. The inspections took place at the Seo-changcheon riverside promenade and the area around 51-1 San, Pungam-dong. The focus was on checking the criteria and methods for preemptively restricting access to the riverside promenade, the installation status of warning signs, and the management of facilities.
