Sancheong County Prepares for Rainy Season by Inspecting Progress of Disaster Restoration Projects

Strengthening Safety Management at River Restoration Sites
Full Commitment to Disaster Prevention

Sancheong County, South Gyeongsang Province, announced on June 17 that it conducted on-site inspections of major disaster restoration project sites in preparation for heavy summer rains and typhoons.

This inspection was organized to check the safety management status of disaster-prone areas and the progress of restoration projects ahead of the rainy season. The focus was on the restoration sites of rivers that were damaged by last year’s heavy rainfall.

Related officials are reviewing the restoration sites and confirming the progress of major construction processes before the rainy season.

The inspection was attended by the Deputy Governor of Sancheong County, officials from the Safety Management Division, and the Construction and Transportation Division. They reviewed the progress of construction and the safety management status at three river disaster restoration sites.

The sites inspected were the Sangbeopcheon Improvement and Restoration Project in Chahwang-myeon, the Yangcheon Disaster Restoration Project in Sinan-myeon (implemented by Gyeongsangnam-do), and the Jungtaecheon Disaster Restoration Project in Sicheon-myeon. Among these, a total of 36.7 billion won has been allocated for the Sangbeopcheon Improvement and Restoration Project.

Sancheong County plans to complete key processes before the rainy season, carry out necessary reinforcement work, and continue restoration projects to prevent the recurrence of disasters such as river embankment collapse and flooding.

An official from Sancheong County stated, “We will ensure that the remaining administrative procedures and on-site management proceed without any setbacks to prepare for natural disasters during the summer.”

Due to climate change, localized heavy rains and typhoons are becoming more frequent, making disaster prevention a more critical administrative task than restoration.

On-site inspections before the rainy season must go beyond one-off checks and be followed up with continuous management of construction progress, safety, and vulnerable sections in order to reduce disaster damage. The quality of on-site completion and post-management, as much as the speed of administrative response, determines the safety of local residents.
