Jeonju
South Korea
Jeonju is projected to face increasing risks from heavy rainfall events, which are expected to become more frequent and intense due to climate change. The rise in precipitation is likely to exacerbate flooding, threatening infrastructure and disrupting daily life. Vulnerable areas within the city could see greater impacts, leading to concerns over water management and public safety. As the urban environment adapts to shifting climate patterns, infrastructure such as drainage systems may become overwhelmed, raising the risk of property damage and loss. Additionally, there is a potential for adverse effects on agriculture and the local economy, as heavy rains can hinder farming activities and damage crops. Without documented technology-enabled solutions for climate resilience, the city's preparedness for such extreme weather remains uncertain. Jeonju will need to address these hazards proactively to mitigate future vulnerabilities and enhance community resilience against heavy rainfall.
