Hwaseong City Urges Participation in 'Clear Snow in Front of Your Home' Campaign

Hwaseong City is launching a 'Clear Snow in Front of Your Home and Business' campaign to minimize inconvenience to residents caused by heavy winter snowfall.

The Hwaseong City Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters urges households to prepare snow removal tools (shovels, spades, brooms) in advance for winter, vehicle owners to carry safety equipment such as chains, isolated areas to stockpile emergency food and fuel, rural areas to reinforce vinyl greenhouses and livestock facilities and remove shade nets from ginseng cultivation facilities, and residents to pay close attention to weather forecasts when heavy snow warnings are issued.

When heavy snow falls, the city calls for clearing snow in front of your own home and spreading sand on icy roads to prevent slipping, refraining from driving personal vehicles and using public transportation instead, cooperating with traffic control for snow removal operations, and sweeping snow off vinyl structures and livestock facilities immediately after snowfall.

The city previously enacted the 'Ordinance on Snow and Ice Removal Responsibilities of Building Managers in Hwaseong City' in 2009, specifying in detail the responsible parties, methods, and timing of snow and ice removal operations.
