Due to heavy rain in Geoje City, many merchants suffered damage, but certain business types excluded from government support and merchants who experienced indirect damage have emerged. A restaurant owner suffered significant losses, having to suspend operations and dispose of food ingredients due to power outages caused by flooding. However, the owner faces difficulties in not receiving support because there was no direct flooding damage. Bar operators in the entertainment industry are also experiencing double hardship from bearing recovery costs due to flooding and being excluded from financial support. Geoje City is reviewing separate support measures for business types excluded from government support and merchants affected by indirect damage.
