By order of Minister of Justice Jung Seongho, individuals subject to community service orders have been urgently deployed to flood-damaged sites across the country to assist with recovery efforts.
The Ministry of Justice announced on the 24th that on the 20th, Minister Jung formed a 'Recovery Support Team' and instructed that community service order recipients be dispatched to flood-affected areas.
Accordingly, from the 21st to the 24th, a total of 594 people have been deployed over four days to participate in recovery activities at flood sites.
In particular, those mainly assigned to the severely affected regions of Gyeonggi, Chungnam, Jeonnam, and Gyeongnam removed mud and debris that had entered homes, cleaned and organized household items damaged by flooding, and restored collapsed greenhouses and embankments.
The Ministry of Justice stated, "We will continue to deploy community service recipients so that residents can return to normal as soon as possible," and added, "We will also actively assign them to flood prevention activities, such as removing debris from sewers and drainage channels."
