At the Nabulcheon disaster restoration site, Mayor Jo checked the status of levee restoration and the condition of the facilities, urging construction personnel to prioritize safety management until the completion of the project.

At the Hyangyangcheon restoration site, he received a report on the project’s progress and safety measures for the rainy season, and inspected potential hazards in the construction area. The city also reviewed its emergency restoration system, on-site safety management, and plans to minimize inconvenience for local residents in preparation for heavy rains.

In addition, the city explained the progress of the restoration projects to residents visiting the sites and listened to their feedback, stating that it will manage the projects to ensure they proceed as planned.

Mayor Kyu-Il Jo stated, “As the frequency of heavy rains and typhoons is increasing due to climate change, pre-inspections and safety management are crucial. We will ensure that flood restoration projects proceed without setbacks and focus administrative efforts on preventing summer natural disasters.”

While the pace of restoration work is important, ensuring both safety and quality before the onset of heavy rainfall is even more critical. Pre-inspection and on-site management are the first steps in reducing damage from summer natural disasters.
