Dobong-gu (Mayor Oh Eon-seok) will conduct a survey on homeless people wandering the streets during the heatwave on the 7th.

This survey was initiated to protect the health rights of homeless people in the area and to prevent safety accidents in preparation for the heatwave.

The main survey areas are locations where homeless occurrences and complaints are expected: ▲Changdong Station ▲Banghak Intersection ▲Ssanghan Bridge ▲Ssangmun Station. A summer street homeless counseling team, organized in pairs, will conduct patrols.

When homeless individuals are found during patrols, the district will verify their identity and provide guidance and encouragement to enter homeless shelters. If the individual refuses to use the facilities, the district will assess their condition and take appropriate measures such as distributing relief supplies.

Oh Eon-seok, Mayor of Dobong-gu, stated, “Due to the severe heatwave this summer, the safety of homeless people on the streets is more concerning than ever. Through this survey and patrol, we will identify homeless individuals struggling due to the heatwave and ensure swift and proactive crisis management.”
