Palk Dal District Chief Baek Un-o Inspects Banggung-dong Single-room Housing Area for Cold Wave Preparedness

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Palk Dal District Chief Baek Un-o visited the single-room housing area in Banggung-dong, Palk Dal District on the 11th to inspect facility safety and heating conditions in preparation for the cold wave.

Single-room households located in Banggung-dong use shared bathrooms, and most rooms lack windows, resulting in poor living conditions. The district had previously provided heating expenses and heated mats to residents through a special protection initiative for vulnerable groups during the winter season.

"With the prolonged COVID-19 situation compounded by the cold wave, there are concerns about the compounded hardships faced by disaster-vulnerable groups," District Chief Baek Un-o said, urging, "Please strictly adhere to safety guidelines to prevent cold-related illnesses such as hypothermia and frostbite."
