양산 42.5도 ‘역대 최고’…경남 폭염·가뭄 비상 2단계 대응6개월 강수량 평년의 65% 수준…경남도 취약계층 보호·용수 확보 총력
경상남도는 도내 전 시·군에 폭염특보가 발효되고 가뭄 상황까지 악화됨에 따라 재난안전대책본부 대응 단계를 ‘비상 2단계’로 격상하고 도민 안전 확보와 피해 최소화에 나섰다고 3일 밝혔다.
앞서 지난 2일 양산시 낮 최고기온은 42.5도를 기록해 국내 기상관측 이래 가장 높은 기온으로 기록됐다. 현재 도내 14개 시군에는 폭염중대경보, 7개 시군에는 폭염경보, 2개 시군에는 폭염주의보가 내려진 상태다.
경남도는 폭염 취약계층 보호를 위해 18개 시군과 비상근무 체계를 가동하고, 취약계층 안전 확인을 하루 2회 이상 실시하고 있다. 논밭과 야외 작업장 등 취약지역에는 마을방송과 드론, 가두방송 차량 등을 활용한 안전 안내도 확대했다.
또 경로당과 마을회관 등 도내 무더위쉼터 8200곳에 냉방비 8억2000만 원을 긴급 지원하고, 주요 쉼터 338곳은 야간과 주말까지 운영 시간을 연장했다.
폭염과 함께 가뭄 상황도 심각해지고 있다. 최근 6개월간 도내 누적 강수량은 556㎜로 평년(853.8㎜)의 65.1% 수준에 그쳤으며, 농업용 저수지 평균 저수율도 40.4%까지 떨어졌다. 현재 16개 시군이 가뭄 경계 또는 주의 단계에 들어갔다.
생활·공업용수는 정상 공급되고 있지만 밀양댐 저수율이 33.2%까지 하락하면서 지난 2일부터 ‘경계 단계’가 발령됐다. 경남도는 생활·공업용수 확보를 위해 하천 유지용수와 농업용수 방류량을 조정하고, 저수율이 낮은 농업용 저수지 100곳을 대상으로 양수저류와 직접 급수 등 긴급 대책을 추진하고 있다.
정부 지원 확보에도 나섰다. 경남도는 행정안전부에 하천용수 취수시설 설치와 관정 개발, 급수차 지원 등을 위한 가뭄 대응 특별교부세 65억5000만 원을 신청했으며, 농림축산식품부에는 관정 124개 지구 용수개발사업과 밀양 무안·초동지구 긴급대책비 등 총 98억 원 규모의 국비 지원을 건의했다.
경남도 관계자는 “폭염과 가뭄이 동시에 이어지는 엄중한 상황”이라며 “취약계층 보호와 안정적인 용수 공급을 위해 현장 대응에 모든 행정력을 집중하겠다”고 말했다.

Yangsan’s temperature of 42.5 degrees is ‘the highest ever’… Gyeongnam Heat Wave and Drought Emergency Level 2 Response Precipitation for 6 months is 65% of normal... Gyeongnam Province makes every effort to protect vulnerable groups and secure water
Gyeongnam has raised its level of disaster response as the highest heat wave and severe drought continue at the same time since 122 years of meteorological observation.
Gyeongsangnam-do announced on the 3rd that as a heat wave warning went into effect for all cities and counties in the province and the drought situation worsened, the response level of the Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters was raised to 'Emergency Level 2' and began to ensure the safety of residents and minimize damage.
Previously, the highest daytime temperature in Yangsan City on the 2nd was 42.5 degrees, the highest temperature recorded since domestic meteorological observations. Currently, a severe heat wave warning has been issued for 14 cities and counties in the province, a heat wave warning has been issued for 7 cities and counties, and a heat wave advisory has been issued for 2 cities and counties.
Gyeongnam Province operates an emergency work system with 18 cities and counties to protect vulnerable groups from heat waves, and conducts safety checks on vulnerable groups at least twice a day. Safety guidance using village broadcasting, drones, and street broadcasting vehicles has also been expanded in vulnerable areas such as rice fields and outdoor workshops.
In addition, 820 million won in emergency support for cooling costs was provided to 8,200 heat shelters in the province, including senior centers and community centers, and 338 major shelters extended their operating hours to nights and weekends.
Along with the heat wave, the drought situation is becoming more serious. The accumulated precipitation in the province over the past six months was 556 mm, which is only 65.1% of the average (853.8 mm), and the average water storage rate of agricultural reservoirs also fell to 40.4%. Currently, 16 cities and counties are under drought alert or caution level.
Water for domestic and industrial use is being supplied normally, but the water storage rate of Miryang Dam has dropped to 33.2%, and a ‘alert level’ has been issued since the 2nd. Gyeongsangnam-do is adjusting the discharge amount of river maintenance water and agricultural water to secure water for domestic and industrial use, and is promoting emergency measures such as pumped water storage and direct water supply to 100 agricultural reservoirs with low water retention rates.
We also worked to secure government support. Gyeongnam Province applied to the Ministry of Public Administration and Security for a special grant of KRW 6.55 billion in response to drought for the installation of river water intake facilities, development of wells, and support for water trucks, and to the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, it proposed a total of KRW 9.8 billion in government support, including water development projects in 124 districts of wells and emergency response funds for Muan and Chodong districts in Miryang.
An official from Gyeongnam Province said, “This is a serious situation where heat waves and droughts occur simultaneously,” and added, “We will focus all administrative power on field response to protect the vulnerable and provide stable water supply.” <저작권자 ⓒ 브레이크뉴스경남 무단전재 및 재배포 금지>
