Six Cities and Counties in Northern Inland Region Participate in 'Gapyeong Flood Recovery'

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Eom In-yong] Gapyeong County announced on the 30th that member cities and counties of the Northern Inland Region Administrative Council are participating in the 'Hometown Love Designated Donation Campaign' to recover from massive damage caused by record-breaking heavy rain, including landslides and river overflows.

The campaign brings together six cities and counties: Chuncheon City in Gangwon Province, Hongcheon County, Cheorwon County, Hwacheon County, Yanggu County, and Inje County. Each local government plans to secure emergency recovery support funds through the 'designated donation' method under Gapyeong County's Hometown Love Donation System.

Donations can be made both online and offline. For online donations, visitors can access the 'Hometown Love e-um' website and select 'Gapyeong County Heavy Rain Damage Recovery Emergency Fundraising,' and for offline donations, they can visit the nearest NH Bank or local agricultural and livestock cooperative branch.

Meanwhile, the designated donation campaign is being actively promoted through each city and county's website and local promotional channels. Gapyeong County plans to use the collected donations for practical recovery projects, including restoration of flood-damaged homes, support for vulnerable populations, and improvement of basic infrastructure.

Gapyeong County Governor Seo Tae-won said, "I extend deep gratitude to the cities and counties belonging to the Northern Inland Region Administrative Council for swiftly joining our disaster recovery efforts," and added, "I expect that the warm hearts of residents from member municipalities will be a great strength in our rapid recovery and reconstruction."
