At the Gungpyeong 2 Underpass in Osong-eup, Acting Commissioner Yoo inspected the emergency response system for flood and typhoon preparedness. He examined the status of vulnerable areas at risk of casualties, such as landslide zones, river disaster sites, and underpasses, as well as the preemptive deployment plans of the police mobile units, to ensure that the site can be quickly controlled and residents evacuated in the event of sudden heavy rainfall.


At the embankment restoration site along the Geumgang River, he checked the preparedness plans for embankment collapse and river flooding. He specifically urged thorough information sharing and cooperation with related agencies such as the fire department, and called for advance inspections of rescue equipment.



Acting Commissioner Yoo stressed, "Since natural disasters in the summer are directly linked to the lives and safety of the people, it is crucial to take thorough preventive measures before any accidents occur." He added, "Before the rainy season begins, carefully inspect roads and safety facilities, and promptly repair or remove any risk factors to proactively prevent safety accidents."
