Seoul Police Chief Inspects Flood-Prone Areas for Storm and Flood Preparedness

On-Site Inspection Conducted at Underpass Near Seokgye Station and Surrounding Areas

Jeongbo Park, Commissioner of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, conducted an on-site inspection ahead of the peak heavy rainfall season.

On the 17th, Commissioner Park inspected the area under Seokgye Station in Seongbuk-gu, Seoul, which is regularly flooded during the summer monsoon season. This location was also the site where, during last year’s heavy rain warning, police officers responded to a 112 emergency call and rescued a driver who had been trapped in their vehicle due to flooding. Recognizing the importance of joint response with relevant agencies in preparing for natural disasters, officials from Seongbuk-gu and the Northern Road Management Office also participated in the inspection that day.

Taking into account that road flooding occurred last year due to the nearby Uicheon stream overflowing, Seongbuk-gu carried out defensive wall installation works in April and May this year. On this day, the completion status of the construction and the joint response system were inspected.

The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency has established a countermeasure plan for natural disasters during the summer and instructed quick on-site response for 771 flood-prone areas designated by the Seoul Metropolitan Government, including underpasses and other locations at risk of flooding.
