Namyangju City establishes special protection measures for vulnerable groups to prepare for heat waves

- Reporter Ha In-gyu

(Namyangju=Break News Gyeonggi Northeast) Namyangju City (Mayor Joo Kwang-deok) is making all-out efforts to prevent heat waves by establishing special protection measures to prepare for heat waves to ensure a healthy and safe summer for the residential and vulnerable groups in the hot weather.

The city is dividing the heat wave vulnerable groups into a priority management group (approximately 42,940 people) such as residents of irregular housing, elderly people living alone, and the severely disabled, and a general management group (approximately 53,260 people) such as the mildly disabled, children who skip meals, and basic livelihood recipients, and is establishing and supporting customized support measures.

In particular, we strengthened our heat wave accident prevention activities by providing customized care for the elderly, emergency safety and security services for the elderly living alone, activity support services, and one-day safety check services through town/village/dong human safety nets for approximately 5,540 care service recipients among the priority management group.

In addition, as the heat wave warning was raised to the serious level on the 7th, Choi Jae-woong, Director of the Welfare Bureau of Namyangju City, and Ryu Geon-min, Senior Vice President of the Namyangju City Branch of the Korean Senior Citizens' Association, visited some of the 568 senior centers and irregular housing households designated as heat wave shelters in the city, and conducted inspections of cooling equipment such as air conditioners and fans, guidance on heat wave behavior guidelines, and listening to the opinions of local residents.

Director of Welfare Choi Jae-woong said, “It is reassuring to see seniors gathering at senior centers to escape the heat and having fun, and we will do our best to make senior centers safe and comfortable,” and added, “Please follow the heat-related illness prevention guidelines and pay top priority to health management due to the heat wave.” Meanwhile, the city provided education on emergency response measures in the event of a heat wave to caregivers and service recipients in the elderly and disabled sectors from June to July, and is working to minimize heat wave damage to vulnerable groups through various support measures such as home repair support (93 households), air conditioning support (450 households), and health management food support (650 households).
