Around 9 o'clock in the morning, a landslide occurred at a golf course in Yongin, Gyeonggi, and hit the golf course management ridge.

At the time, the lower body of two employees in the office of the management building was buried and isolated.


The firefighters who were sent out after receiving the report rescued the staff after 40 minutes, but fortunately, they are said to have suffered only minor injuries.

In Papyeong-myeon, Paju, Gyeonggi-do, five bus drivers and passengers were rescued because the city bus that was in operation was flooded.


Since the 1st, 16 people have died and 11 have been killed in relation to heavy rain.

The fatalities were 8 in Gyeonggi, 5 in Chungbuk, 1 in Seoul, Chungnam, and Gangwon.

The missing persons are 8 in Chungbuk, 2 in Chungnam, and 1 in Gyeonggi.

However, considering the heavy rains that have been poured into the central area since last night, the scale of the damage is expected to increase.

As the rainy season increases, the government is expected to declare a special disaster zone for Chungnam, Chungbuk and Gyeonggi regions as early as today.

If you are declared a special disaster area, you will be eligible for state funding for disaster recovery.

In addition, it also provides relief for victims of disaster, support for disaster relief funds, and reductions in utility bills and other utility costs.
