Osan City Implements 'Emergency Living Affairs Resolution Service' for Vulnerable Populations

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Osan City will implement an 'Emergency Living Affairs Resolution Service' for socially vulnerable populations in the region until the spread of COVID-19 is contained.

The 'Emergency Living Affairs Resolution Service' is a project that resolves essential daily living affairs for vulnerable households, including ▲electrical safety inspections ▲light fixture repairs ▲water pipe leaks ▲gas equipment repairs and similar concerns.

The city anticipates that vulnerable populations will require additional assistance due to COVID-19 and frequent heavy rains, and plans to actively promote and identify cases to help address their inconveniences.

The city will also provide guidance on air conditioning usage and indoor ventilation to enable safe indoor living during the COVID-19 pandemic. The project will be carried out while strictly adhering to quarantine measures including hand sanitization and mask wearing during work, as well as maintaining social distancing.

Shin Sun-gyo, Head of the Elderly and Persons with Disabilities Division, said, "We will make greater efforts to actively support and provide practical assistance to our underprivileged neighbors whose lives have become difficult due to prolonged rainy seasons, torrential downpours, and frequent typhoons."
