Prime Minister Han Duck-soo said on the 22nd, “Every time I receive a disaster response report, I ask public officials to do two things: ‘Respond to disasters in a way that seems excessive,’ and ‘Think of them as my family. ’”
Prime Minister Han said this on Facebook that afternoon, saying, “As Prime Minister, the most heartbreaking task is visiting disaster sites.”
He continued, “My heart feels heavy whenever I see people who have lost their homes, lost loved ones, or been injured.”
Prime Minister Han also expressed concern over the heat wave in the southern region and mentioned the ‘child warning’ implemented by the Busan Regional Meteorological Administration for the elderly living in rural areas.
This refers to a system that sends text messages to children after obtaining their contact information, as many elderly people do not read disaster text messages even when they receive them. 98 elderly people in Changnyeong-gun, Gyeongnam are receiving related text messages.
Prime Minister Han said, “Since the year before last, Busan Regional Meteorological Administration staff have been going to every nook and cranny of a small village in Changnyeong County to get the contact information of their children from the elderly, and then explaining the project to them one by one and getting their permission.” He added, “As word of the results spread, the project was expanded to Miryang City this year, and the Gwangju Regional Meteorological Administration has even stepped forward to say, ‘We will apply it not only to heat waves, but also to cold waves and heavy snow. ’”
Next, he relayed the words of Busan Regional Meteorological Administration official Kim Yeon-mae, who came up with the idea of the ‘child alert’, saying, “The process was difficult, but I feel a great sense of accomplishment when I see the elderly receiving the text messages safely spending the summer,” and said, “The rewards of public service are condensed in those words.”
Prime Minister Han said, “No matter how much technology develops, it is ultimately the sincerity and determination of people that saves lives,” and added, “I know it is difficult, but I ask everyone to work harder. I hope that the damage to our people this summer will be as minimal as possible.”
