Special warning for heavy snow in Gyeonggi Province...Emergency Level 2 of the Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters

Gyeonggi-do Province has raised the emergency level of its Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters from the first to the second after a series of damage in various parts of the Gyeonggi area where heavy snow warnings have been issued.

We plan to strengthen snow removal work on major arterial roads on the way home from work, and follow-up snow removal work on alleys and major side roads.

The heavy snow caused vehicles to fall sideways or overturn due to snow in Sangsangok-dong, Hanam and Ssangryeong-dong, Gwangju.

Unable to overcome the weight of the snow, trees collapsed, wires stretched, or telephone poles fell, causing power failure.

Gyeonggi-do Province has put in 3,443 snow removal equipment and 5,243 manpower and put in 15,000 tons of snow removal.

At the same time, the province sent disaster texts three times, stating that it encourages the use of public transportation and pays attention to the safety of snow removal work.
