Dear
The Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association,
Typhoon
EWINIAR excessively damaged this beautiful and quiet city. Thanks to
your valuable services and sacrifices however, flood victims had a foundation
for recovery. I am deeply grateful about that.
Even
with a big natural disaster, we were able to minimize damages and recover
in a short period. It was possible due to your precious day and night
sacrifices and efforts at the disaster site, and the active participation
of the neighborhood and other people from all social standings.
Many
hopeless victims lost everything all of a sudden due to the typhoon.
Central and local government, military and ordinary citizens put their
hands together to help with the emergency work. All of this led to a
quick recovery.
Disasters
such as sudden and unexpected local downpours and typhoons seem to be
increasing. Jinju city however will try to make a safe and happy city
with the goal to minimize damages from disasters with site-focused management
and prevention measures.
Please
take care of our city with attention and love in the future as well,
so that this city will develop more every day.
Finally,
I hope that all of your wishes come true and that you have good luck
and prosperity.
Sincerely,
Jeong
Young-Seok
Major
of Jinju City
Chief
of Disaster Measures Headquarters
