Gyeonggi Province Signs Emergency Support Agreement with Incheon and South Chungcheong

Gyeonggi Province announced on the 11th that it has signed an agreement with Incheon City and South Chungcheong Province on equipment and material support for efficient inter-provincial emergency recovery in the event of large-scale disasters.

Following the agreement, when a major disaster occurs in another local government, the disaster and safety response headquarters director of the supporting region will provide equipment and personnel support upon request, and the local government receiving support must provide conveniences such as toll road pass issuance and designated transit routes.

In addition to these regions, the Province plans to expand support agreements with adjacent local governments including South Jeolla Province and Gangwon Province in the near future.

A provincial official said, "As disasters are becoming increasingly large-scale, it is becoming difficult for a single local government to respond alone," and added, "We will establish a mutual cooperation system to protect the lives and property of citizens."
