The Ministry of the Interior and Safety announced on the 3rd that it would urgently provide a special disaster and safety management grant of 2 billion won to three regions—Jeonnam-Gwangju Metropolitan City, South Chungcheong Province, and North Jeolla Special Self-Governing Province—that were recently affected by heavy rainfall.

This support was decided to ensure the prompt recovery of areas damaged by the torrential rain that fell from August 28 to September 1. The funds will be used for urgent on-site measures, such as emergency restoration of damaged facilities and assistance for displaced residents.

Minister of the Interior and Safety Hojoong Yoon stated, "As the recovery of residents' daily lives is important, local governments and related agencies must make every effort for swift on-site recovery. The government will also pay close attention to the voices on the ground and spare no necessary support until the difficulties in the region are resolved."
