In addition, Hanwha will donate an additional 1 billion won to assist vulnerable groups in the Gyeongnam region alongside its flood recovery support. Starting in September, these donations will be used for purchasing educational materials for children from low-income families, providing living expenses to elderly people living alone, and renovating welfare facilities through organizations such as ChildFund Korea and the Gyeongsangnam-do Volunteer Center.

Immediately after the torrential rain, Hanwha Ocean, which operates a shipyard and other business sites in Geoje, provided dredging vehicles, pumps, generators, and personnel to carry out drainage work in flooded areas. The company also supplied bottled water, gloves, and snacks to volunteer organizations assisting with on-site recovery efforts.

Hanwha Group has consistently provided support for recovery whenever large-scale disasters have occurred. In March last year, it donated 1 billion won to assist with wildfire damage recovery in North Gyeongsang, South Gyeongsang, and Ulsan, and in July of the same year, it contributed 2 billion won to support recovery from torrential rain damage across the country.

A Hanwha Group representative stated, "We hope our support helps many people who have lost their livelihoods to heavy rain regain their daily lives as soon as possible," adding, "We will continue to do our best to support disaster recovery and vulnerable groups in local communities."
