Samsung has pledged 3 billion won, equivalent to $2.2 million, to aid communities in North and South Gyeongsang provinces grappling with devastation from recent torrential rains, the company announced on Friday. This generous contribution is being made by nine Samsung subsidiaries, including Samsung Electronics, Samsung C&T, and Samsung Life Insurance.
Samsung Heavy Industries, which also experienced flooding damage, is actively involved in this relief endeavor. The monetary aid will be directed towards recovery initiatives in Geoje, Tongyeong, Andong, and Uiseong, among other affected regions.
In addition to the financial support, Samsung is providing 1,000 emergency relief kits and 300 disaster relief shelters through the Korean Red Cross. These kits, furnished by the Korean Red Cross, contain essential items such as blankets, clothing, towels, and toiletries, while the shelters offer temporary housing for individuals displaced by the disaster. Notably, Samsung has been contributing to the Korean Red Cross's disaster response and emergency relief efforts annually since 2005, as stated by the company.
