As the heat wave reaches its peak, district offices across Suwon are shifting into emergency mode.

From inspecting cooling shelters to visiting semi-basement households, their determination is unwavering—not a single casualty during this critical period.

According to Gwonseon District in Suwon on the 7th, the district held an emergency countermeasure meeting chaired by District Chief Kim Min-soo in the morning to review departmental heat wave response efforts.

The meeting focused intensively on four areas: strengthening protection of vulnerable groups such as the elderly and children, inspecting cooling shelter operations, safety management for outdoor workers at roads and parks, and establishing rapid response systems according to heat wave situations.

Kim Min-soo, Gwonseon District Chief, urged, "All staff must approach on-site response with utmost resolve to prevent even a single casualty," and appealed to residents: "Please refrain from outdoor activities during heat waves and ensure adequate water intake."

Paldal District first addressed housing types most exposed to heat. On the 5th, the Godeung-dong Community Welfare Council delivered 2 electric fans and 13 summer blankets prioritizing residents living in semi-basement and goshiwon accommodations.

Yoon Byung-chul, Godeung-dong Chief, stated, "As the heat wave intensifies, we will carefully attend to the daily hardships of vulnerable groups and continue to share our hearts so they can spend this summer safely and healthily."

In Youngtong District, neighborhood heads visited senior centers in person. On the 6th, the Maetan 2-dong Neighborhood Heads' Council visited 8 senior centers in the area, distributing bananas to elders and checking on their wellbeing.
