In response, Jeonnam Gwangju Integrated Special City has been carrying out a disaster prevention project for Najucheon since 2022, investing 93.6 billion won. In particular, the city is taking steps to address heavy rainfall by expanding pumping stations, restoring 3.1 kilometers of the ecological river, and upgrading 3.0 kilometers of sewage pipelines.

Mayor Min Hyungbae stated, "The primary duty of administration is to protect the lives and safety of citizens," and urged, "Please do your utmost to fundamentally prevent the recurring cycle of flood damage and safeguard the lives and safety of our citizens."
