Suwon's Jangan-gu announced on the 20th that it is making an all-out effort in disaster prevention activities as the rainy season approaches in earnest.
The district first promoted maintenance of rivers and drainage facilities within its jurisdiction, and conducted inspections of drainage facilities at residential flooding sites and public awareness campaigns for advance prevention.
Over the past four years, it has completed advance inspections for flood prevention, including drainage facility maintenance and installation of backflow prevention valves, at 124 residences in areas that experienced flooding or were at risk.
When heavy rain occurs, the district plans to maintain an emergency work system with environmental sanitation workers to promptly clean garbage blocking storm drains and address the causes of flooding. It also plans to implement step-by-step action manuals for each district and neighborhood, as well as training for responsible officials.
Ra Su-heung, head of Jangan-gu, said, "We will make every effort to maintain and manage rivers and public sewage facilities and maintain private drainage facilities to prevent flooding damage from heavy rain and typhoons."
