[Suwon Ilbo = Reporter Park No-hun] Gyeonggi Province announced on the 20th that it has established a recovery plan to invest a total of 327.2 billion won, including 53.2 billion won in provincial funds, to restore public and private facilities damaged by heavy rain concentrated in the Seoul metropolitan area in August.
According to Gyeonggi Province's damage survey results, a total of 295.6 billion won in financial resources were needed to restore public facilities, of which 165.8 billion won is scheduled to be allocated as national treasury by the end of this month.
The provincial burden is 48.4 billion won, and the province plans to provide support without any issues by utilizing reserve funds and other measures. The remaining 81.4 billion won is borne by cities and counties.
The public facility disaster recovery projects included in this recovery plan total 1,925 locations. Among these, improvement recovery projects such as construction to expand the water passage cross-section of rivers will be promoted in 7 project sites in Yangpyeong, Gwangju, and Yeoju areas with a project cost of 100.8 billion won.
The improvement recovery project was originally planned to be promoted with a scale of 10.86 billion won, focusing on simple restoration (functional recovery). However, through consultation with the central government and securing additional national funds, it will be promoted as an improvement recovery project that can fundamentally address the root causes of damage, the province explained.
Previously, the province provided emergency support of 13.7 billion won through special allocation tax and disaster management funds for rapid emergency recovery of public facilities from this heavy rain damage.
In the case of private facilities, a total of 31.6 billion won in recovery funds was found to be needed.
The province provided the first round of disaster relief funds of 27.5 billion won (including 4.2 billion won in provincial funds) on the 5th. Following the results of additional damage surveys conducted from the 29th to 31st of last month, the province plans to provide an additional 4.12 billion won in second-round disaster relief funds next week.
Of the 4.12 billion won, 610 million won is the provincial burden, and the province plans to allocate it to cities and counties in September using reserve funds.
The second-round disaster relief funds include 2 million won per case to support small merchants' flood damage, as in the previous first round.
In the case of Gyeonggi Province, 774 cases of small merchants' flood damage are expected to receive additional benefits.
Meanwhile, from August 8 to 17 of last month, the damage amount that occurred in Gyeonggi Province due to heavy rain concentrated in the Seoul metropolitan area was totaled at 147.7 billion won, consisting of 126.4 billion won in public facilities and 21.4 billion won in private facilities.
For public facilities, rivers had the largest damage scale at 51 billion won, followed by erosion control (landslides, etc.) at 27.4 billion won, small-scale facilities at 16.8 billion won, water facilities at 10.1 billion won, and roads at 6.3 billion won, in that order. For private facilities, residential damage including flooding and partial collapse amounted to 15.6 billion won, and farmland damage amounted to 4.3 billion won.
An official from Gyeonggi Province stated, "We will prepare sufficient solutions to address areas requiring fundamental improvements so that heavy rain damage does not occur again," and "We will proceed with projects without any issues so that disaster recovery projects can be completed early before the rainy season in June next year."
