Coupang Inc announced Thursday that it had sent 200 emergency relief “Coupang Hope Boxes” to Geoje, South Gyeongsang Province.<\/p>\n
Heavy rains have pounded the southern coast of South Gyeongsang Province since Aug. 15, causing landslides and flooding homes and roads in Geoje and Tongyeong. As of 6 a.m. Wednesday, 1,048 people had been temporarily evacuated from affected areas, with 478 of them sheltering in private accommodations, schools, social welfare centers and community halls. Coupang delivered the Hope Boxes to about 200 people staying at temporary shelters.<\/p>\n
Immediately after the downpours began, Coupang worked with disaster relief organization Peace Winds Korea to assess conditions on the ground and identify what was needed. As the number of evacuees grew and flood damage spread, the company decided to dispatch 200 Hope Box sets and released relief supplies stockpiled at its Sejong fulfillment center.<\/p>\n
The boxes arrived Wednesday at Okpo Elementary School in Geoje and were distributed to displaced residents at temporary shelters. Each set contained 10 items: a storage box, a comforter, a pillow, towels, socks, compressed wet wipes, a toothpaste-and-toothbrush set, a soap-and-foam-net wash pouch and a foldable three-layer mattress.<\/p>\n
Coupang had also sent 100 Hope Box sets last month to Uiseong in North Gyeongsang Province, which was hit by heavy rains. The supplies were delivered to the Uiseong General Gymnasium, which had been set up as an evacuation center at the time.<\/p>\n
“We will continue to quickly assess conditions and needs on the ground when disasters strike, and use Coupang’s logistics infrastructure to get relief supplies where they are needed as fast as possible,” a Coupang corporate social responsibility official said.<\/p>\n
