It has been confirmed that more than 5,000 facility damages have occurred in Gyeonggi-do so far due to heavy snow in November for the first time in 117 years.
The snow stopped, but it takes a considerable amount of time to restore the collapsed buildings and restore daily life.
There is a YTN reporter at the scene. Reporter Kim Lee Young!
[Reporter]
It is located in Paltan-myeon, Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do.

The building in the back collapsed due to this heavy snow, right?
[Reporter]
As you can see after collapsing four days ago, the roof still touches the ground.
As the snow continues to melt little by little, you can sometimes hear piles of snow falling on the floor through the torn ceilings.
The 650-square-meter temporary building collapsed at around 11 p.m. on the 27th when the snow first began to fall.
It is said that the snow on the roof was more than 30cm at the time.
In the video, a worker standing outside the building feels a strange smell as the snow continues to fall, urgently calls the worker inside,
The roof lost power and collapsed almost at the same time as the operator
exited.
The factory owner said it was fortunate that no one was hurt, but he complained of a sense of frustration, saying he could not even touch the site yet.
[Kim Sang-seon / Factory CEO: It will take a month or two to recover, and the manufacturing industry that we're trying to do will start working in March or April if it's delayed by two or three months, adding to the difficulty.]

Did the other factory nearby that the roof collapsed go into restoration work?
[Reporter]
The day after the accident here, the roof of a temporary building also fell at a waste recycling plant in Jangan-myeon.
The tent was removed and the demolition work was barely completed, but the recovery schedule has not yet been finalized.
It was 400 square meters, and if you look at the video, the ceiling poured down and the forklift was immediately covered.
The factory owner said that he rushed out in a hurry after hearing the roar and swept away his surprised heart when he found out that there were no casualties, and said he was embarrassed about how to make a comeback.
[Kim Ki-young / CEO of a nearby factory: It's been a little over a year since we just started our business. I feel like the sky suddenly collapses when I'm in the leap stage.]
On the same day, other warehouse roofs collapsed nearby without overcoming the weight of snow, causing billions of won in damage.
The damage to facilities in Gyeonggi-do Province due to heavy snow has reached 5,400 so far.
The Ministry of Public Administration and Security will set up a "Restoration Countermeasures Support Headquarters" to quickly recover from heavy snow damage and will consider declaring a special disaster zone for those who meet the requirements.
As the snow continues to melt, please be careful not to cause additional damage.
