Ganghwa County Governor Yu Cheon-ho: "Use Emergency Disaster Relief Funds Quickly Within the Local Community"

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] At an executive meeting held at the county office on the 25th, Ganghwa County Governor Yu Cheon-ho reviewed the status of emergency disaster relief fund applications and receipts, and urged swift consumption to revitalize the local economy.

As of the 24th, regarding the distribution of emergency disaster relief funds in Ganghwa County, 30,278 households out of 33,309 households, or 91%, have applied, and 18.2 billion won in disaster relief funds have been distributed.

At the meeting, Governor Yu Cheon-ho, as a short-term measure for early economic recovery, reviewed the deployment of a "consumption promotion campaign" to use emergency disaster relief funds and other resources quickly in local business districts together with county residents, as well as each department's response plans including on-site quarantine preparations and linkage with screening clinics according to school attendance schedules within the county.

Additionally, it was decided to encourage public officials within the county to conduct a "smart consumption campaign" by visiting small businesses and traditional markets within the community to spend distributed welfare points and disaster relief funds, and then posting about it on SNS and other platforms.

Governor Yu Cheon-ho said, "While emergency disaster relief funds can be used throughout Incheon Metropolitan City, we ask that you make every effort to promote local commerce so that the local economy can be revitalized through consumption within the county."

He added, "To revitalize the local economy, we respectfully urge residents to actively participate in the swift consumption of disaster relief funds within the community."
