Korea Zinc's Onsan Smelter donated 230 million won ($167,000) to Ulsan City Hall on Tuesday to support proactive responses to disasters and emergencies in the region. The funds will be used for urgent relief and assistance when disasters strike the Ulsan area.
The Onsan Smelter has long supported vulnerable communities and contributed cash and supplies to disaster-affected areas and displaced residents in the wake of wildfires, heavy rains, heat waves and other emergencies.
"The donation from the Onsan Smelter will serve as a solid pillar protecting the daily lives of citizens caught in crisis by disasters," Mayor Kim said. "Ulsan City will also do its utmost to build a safe community through public-private cooperation."
