Yoon Seok-yeol’s ‘mobilization of bureaucrats’ transformed into preparation for restoration with the disaster law ‘disabling’

As disasters grew larger in the absence of the Minister of Public Administration and Security, who was in charge of disaster safety, the President canceled the ‘Establishment and implementation of a damage recovery plan’ stipulated in the Safety and Security Act and announced the ‘Order to Mobilize All Public Officials’ and began to abrogate the provisions of the Disaster and Safety Act.

Disaster recovery was then changed to preparedness.
On the 18th, President Yoon Seok-yeol said in a national live broadcast of the State Council meeting, "We must abolish all subsidies for concession cartels and corrupt cartels, and use the funds to invest in flood recovery and damage preservation." Recovery work and support for victims must be carried out with a sense of speed. We will declare the affected area as a special disaster area as soon as possible, and we will mobilize all available government resources, including recovery personnel, disaster-related financial resources, and reserve funds."
Right after returning to Korea the day before, President Yoon ordered 'on-site response', saying that public officials should "not just sit in the office, but go out to the field and see the situation" Article 6 of the Disaster and Safety Act (Overseeing and Coordinating Disaster Safety Management) stipulates that “the Minister of Public Administration and Security oversees and coordinates disaster and safety management tasks performed by the national and local governments,” and the Minister of the Interior and Safety is the conductor. .
In Article 4 (Responsibilities of the State, etc.), the Disaster Act stipulates the ‘responsibility to protect the life, body and property of the people’ and ‘efforts to prevent accidents and reduce damage’ in relation to the ‘national and local governments’ obligations’, and “ A plan for prompt response and recovery must be established and implemented.”
At a cabinet meeting the day after visiting the affected area, President Yoon ordered 'preparation', saying, "I hope you will make every effort to control access to low-lying areas that are at risk of flooding due to torrential rain and to preemptively evacuate."
President Yoon continued, "Local governments, police, firefighting, and forestry agencies should mobilize all human resources in all departments. It is an emergency situation in which public safety is at stake. Isn't the situation where the military is also mobilized?" Cut all political subsidies of the corrupt cartel, and invest in 100% conservation of crop-damaged farmhouses and mountain collapsed villages.
The Disaster Act stipulates in Article 14 of the 'Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasure Headquarters' (Critical Response Headquarters) that it is 'established by the Ministry of Public Administration and Security to oversee and coordinate matters related to large-scale disaster response and recovery (management) as prescribed by Presidential Decree and to take necessary measures'. did.

Regarding the damage caused by the torrential rain during President Yoon Seok-yeol's overseas tour, the Office of the President said on the 17th, "It can be seen that the aspect of an accident caused by extreme weather due to climate change, that is, a natural disaster, is large."

On the other hand, in the case of large-scale accidents caused by flooding of underpasses, the Ministry of Public Administration and Security and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport have not prepared a manual for responding to flooding of underground roads, which is increasing even after the mass deaths of flooded underground roads in Churyang, Busan in 2020.  

The fatal accident in which the driver and other vehicle occupants drowned collectively in an underpass is a bureaucratic negligence.

 Article 2 of the Disaster Safety Management Act sets the basic ideology as “when all citizens, national and local governments conduct activities related to the safety of the people’s lives and bodies and the protection of property, safety is given priority so that the people can live in a society that is safe from disasters. It is specified as "to allow.
