First, Gyeonggi Province will produce and distribute 10,000 copies of the "Summer Flood and Wind Disaster Preparedness Guidelines" leaflet and 10,000 posters specifically designed for seniors to all 31 cities and counties in the province. The leaflets will be distributed with consideration for disaster relief fund recipients, while the posters are designed with improved readability so that residents aged 65 and older can easily understand them; these will be distributed through local community leaders and representatives.

The main guidelines include: ▲Inspecting drainage systems and rainwater inlets before rainfall; ▲Avoiding dangerous areas such as hillsides, steep slopes, rivers, and low-lying areas; ▲Evacuating immediately when requested if you live near a hazardous area; ▲Securing vulnerable facilities such as signs and construction materials before strong winds; ▲Avoiding areas with a risk of falling objects, such as under power lines, signs, or trees.

For seniors in particular, the guidelines emphasize frequently checking weather information and staying in contact with family, avoiding walking near rivers, mountain paths, rice paddies, or drainage areas, and evacuating in advance if there is a risk. Additionally, families and neighbors are encouraged to inform nearby seniors of these guidelines to help establish a robust safety network.

Furthermore, residents will be guided to use the National Safety 24 and Korea Meteorological Administration’s Weather Notification apps to access public action guidelines, disaster statistics, weather information, and evacuation facility details all in one place.
