Kim Jong Un, Chairman of the Workers' Party of Korea, Chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the DPRK and Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces of the DPRK, made field survey of the state of flood damage in the area of Taechong-ri, Unpha County of North Hwanghae Province.

A lot of damage occurred in which more than 730 one-storeyed houses and over 600 hectares of rice-fields have been submerged and 179 dwelling houses collapsed as the waterway dike gave way in the area of Taechong-ri, Unpha County owing to the many-days' rainfall and heavy rain under the influence of seasonal rainy front in recent days.

Upon receiving the report on the situation that many dwelling houses and farmland have been submerged in the area of Taechong-ri of Unpha County, he went out to the afflicted area and gave specific tasks and ways related to the rehabilitation of afflicted area, personally learning the situation.

Receiving the report that there was no loss of lives as all the inhabitants of Unpha County had been safely evacuated beforehand, he said it was really fortunate and underscored the need for the county-level guidance organs including the Party, government organs and working people's organizations, and public security organs should carry out the work in a responsible way to lodge the homeless inhabitants separately at the office buildings including the County Party Committee and the County People's Committee, the public buildings and individual houses and settle down and comfort them.

He gave an instruction for a sector concerned to present a document on releasing reserve grain of the Chairman of the State Affairs Commission and supply it to the people of afflicted area by households.

Kim Jong Un said that it is important before anything else to settle down the inhabitants in the afflicted area at an early date by supplying them with essential materials including bedding, daily commodities and medicines and gave a task for the departments and families of headquarters of the Party Central Committee to take full charge of its implementation.

He instructed that the damage rehabilitation command

should be organized with the officials of the department concerned of the

Party Central Committee and the Ministry of the People's Armed Forces,

the command should understand and grip in detail the state of damage on

the spot, correctly calculate and report the materials and formation of

forces needed for the damage rehabilitation.

Kim Jong Un

said that the central design forces should be dispatched and an

operation for newly building the flood-stricken 800 households of the

village of co-op farm in Unpa County into a model one should be well

organized in order to finish the construction in a shortest period on a

highest level.

He said he was determined to dispatch the army to

the damage rehabilitation this time, too, and gave

the task for the People's Army to urgently form the necessary forces to

move and deploy them and preferentially carry out the project for

rearranging the destroyed dwelling houses, roads and the area together

with people in the county.

He said what is most important is to

take measures to supply materials for the project including cement

needed for the rehabilitation from damage and gave the instruction on

releasing the strategic reserve materials of the Chairman of State

Affairs Commission and supply them according to the calculated amount of

need.

Kim Jong Un

called on the Cabinet, the State Planning Commission, ministries and

national agencies to clearly understand the intention of the Party

concerning the damage rehabilitation work in Unpha County and give an

active help.
