On the 14th, the first day of the holiday, Kang Suhyun, mayor of Yangju, visited key police and fire agencies, medical facilities, and traditional markets in the city one after another to check emergency duty status and encourage on-site personnel.

Directors and heads of departments in charge of livelihood affairs accompanied the inspection to closely review the response system in each field. For his first schedule, Mayor Kang visited the Yangju Fire Station to check the readiness for fire, rescue, and emergency medical response. He then went to Ganap Market to examine holiday price trends and listen to the difficulties faced by merchants.

At medical institutions and police and fire sites, the emergency response system and inter-agency cooperation mechanisms were checked. Mayor Kang requested, "Please make thorough preparations so that not a single safety gap occurs during the holiday period." He then encouraged the personnel who are remaining on duty in the field even over the Lunar New Year holiday.

At the Yangju City base disinfection station for livestock vehicles, he inspected quarantine operations aimed at preventing the influx of livestock infectious diseases such as African swine fever (ASF), highly pathogenic avian influenza (AI), and foot-and-mouth disease. The city plans to strengthen disinfection and monitoring activities during the Lunar New Year holiday, anticipating increased vehicle traffic and visitor movement.

In the traditional market, he met with busy merchants and citizens doing their holiday shopping to check the local economic situation and hear about their difficulties.

Mayor Kang Suhyun said, "I would like to express my deep gratitude for the dedication of all the frontline agency personnel who are fulfilling their responsibilities to protect the lives and safety of citizens even during the holiday," adding, "We will do our best to maintain a seamless emergency response system throughout the holiday period so that all citizens and visitors returning home can enjoy a safe and warm Lunar New Year."

During this period, the city plans to minimize inconvenience to citizens and concentrate its administrative capacity by maintaining the emergency medical system, operating a task force to handle daily inconveniences, and implementing emergency duty for disaster and accident preparedness.
