Guri Urban Corporation Implements Comprehensive Summer Disaster Preparedness Plan for 2026

[Suwon Ilbo=Eom In-yong, Reporter] Guri Urban Corporation (Acting President Kim Young-do), the representative public enterprise of Guri City, announced on the 28th that it has established and is implementing a comprehensive operational plan for heat wave and wind and water disaster preparedness to manage the health of Guri citizens and workers and prevent damage from summer disasters.

The corporation added that it has built a heat wave response system for heat management, including establishing an emergency response reporting system for heat-related illness patients, as the Korea Meteorological Administration forecasts that this summer's temperatures will be higher than normal.

To prevent safety accidents caused by wind and water disasters, the corporation conducted safety inspections focusing on vulnerable areas of its operated facilities, conducted self-training disaster scenarios for wind and water disasters to secure response capabilities of employees and executives in disaster situations, and established a response system.

Additionally, for the safety of Guri citizens, the corporation is operating a total of three heat relief shelters (Guri Multisports Center, Sutak 3-dong Administrative Welfare Center, and Galmae Multisports Center) where people can escape the heat and rest, while implementing various heat-related illness prevention activities for outdoor workers (such as those at public parking lots and Topyeong Family Camping Ground), including operating heat break time programs, distributing cold compress pouches and drinkable glucose.

Kim Young-do, Acting President of Guri Urban Corporation, stated, "We are securing citizen safety through proactive safety inspections of facilities in preparation for wind and water disasters, and as severe heat waves are expected this summer as well, we will implement systematic comprehensive measures to prevent heat-related illnesses among our workers and ensure that heat wave damage does not occur, based on our management principle of 'safety first.'"
