Disaster prevention and recovery in Gyeongsangbuk-do

Overview

Following heavy rainfall that damaged local rivers, Gyeongsangbuk-do province initiated a 16.2 billion won recovery plan. This plan focuses on restoring river embankments and revetments in areas like Andong and Uiseong, while also reinforcing temporary assembly houses and addressing environmental risks through improved drainage and slope reinforcement.

Subsequent efforts have seen cities within the province secure additional funding for long-term disaster prevention. Gumi City secured 63.5 billion won for projects in the Dogae and Gyodong districts to renovate rivers, install check dams, and build drainage pump stations. Similarly, Gyeongsan City obtained 31.0 billion won to address chronic flooding in the Dongseo and Yongcheon-ri areas through the installation of pump stations and the renovation of inflow channels planned through 2031.
