The Ministry of the Interior and Safety said it will end the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters response system as of 9 a.m. on the 21st to handle recovery from the heavy rain damage that occurred on the 15th to the 18th, and shift to the Recovery Measures Support Headquarters system.
The Recovery Measures Support Headquarters will be led by the director of the Disaster Recovery Support Bureau at the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and will consist of the Recovery Support General Team, Disaster Relief Team, Psychological Support Team, On-site Support Team, and Emergency Recovery Team (with related ministries such as the Ministry of Environment, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and the Ministry of SMEs and Startups participating). Depending on the scale of the damage, a Central Joint Disaster Damage Investigation Team will also be operated.
The Recovery Measures Support Headquarters plans to actively pursue administrative and financial support in cooperation with local governments so that disaster relief funds for casualties, dwellings, and other damages can be paid as quickly as possible.
Minister Yoon Ho-jung of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety (MOIS) said, "We must make every effort for government-wide, on-site support that people affected by the disaster can tangibly feel, including swift recovery and practical support for the displaced," and requested, "Please work closely with related ministries and local governments so that residents affected by the disaster can safely return to their daily lives as soon as possible."
