Coupang has launched comprehensive damage relief efforts in connection with the fire at its Incheon logistics center.

Coupang Fulfillment Service (CFS) announced on the 24th that it will implement a comprehensive damage support plan, including providing free health checkups to local residents affected by the fire at its Seoknam-dong logistics center in Incheon.

First, CFS will establish an "Emergency Medical Support Center" near the fire site and begin offering free health checkups to residents living around the logistics center who wish to participate, starting from the 25th.

The health checkups will be conducted by more than 20 medical professionals, including doctors, Korean medicine practitioners, nurses, pharmacists, and psychological counselors affiliated with the Daehan Jungang Medical Service Society.

The temporary examination space, set up on the first floor of the gymnasium at Sinhyeon Elementary School near the logistics center, is scheduled to operate for two weeks until August 7 next month. To accommodate working residents and others, it will be open from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.

In addition to respiratory-related examinations such as coughing and difficulty breathing, basic health checks including blood sugar and oxygen saturation measurements will also be provided. Residents can receive stress psychological counseling, on-site treatments using nebulizers, prescriptions for over-the-counter medications, and personalized health management guidance through consultations with medical staff.

CFS plans to support residents who sought hospital treatment or purchased medicines due to the fire by covering their hospitalization fees and medication costs.

A dedicated "Coupang Incheon Fire Damage Support Call Center (02-6990-1379)" for applying for various damage relief measures will operate from the 27th of this month until November 30, spanning four months. Through the call center, residents can report fire-related damages including hospitalization fees, medication costs, cleaning expenses, and car washing charges.

Applications for damage support are available daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., including weekends. Received damage complaints will be reviewed through fact-checking procedures, and support will be provided as quickly as possible.

To assist local residents in confirming fire-related damages, free professional claims adjuster services will also be offered. Claims adjusters will provide support sequentially to residents who apply through the dedicated call center.

Support will also be extended to factories and small business owners experiencing operational difficulties due to vehicle restrictions near the logistics center (Seoknam 2-dong). So far, CFS has been holding discussions with relevant institutional investors and local government officials, including Seohe-gu Office, regarding support measures for local residents.

Previously, CFS had delivered 13,500 masks for use by students and staff at eight elementary schools near the logistics center and distributed 400 sets of relief supplies for use by residents in temporary shelters.

Additionally, nurses from Coupang's customized health management program, "Coupang Care Center," have been dispatched to two temporary shelters within Seohe-gu District to support local residents' health management. A hospital shuttle bus service has also been coordinated to assist residents requiring medical treatment.

Jung Jong-cheol, CEO of CFS, stated, "Once again, I sincerely apologize to all local residents who have faced inconvenience due to this fire." He added, "We have prepared various damage recovery measures, including health checkups and financial support, to help restore residents' health and daily lives. We will continue providing necessary support so that the local community can regain stability as soon as possible."
